2449 dpurdie 11
Version:  3.1.1000.cr                               Released: 14-Nov-12
12
------------------------------------------------------------------------
13
Major changes:
14
 
15
Minor changes:
16
    * Makefile generation
17
      Warning generation of bad source paths does not generate an error
18
      if the path test escapes the directopry tree. It will generate a
19
      warning, which allows the build to progress as before - with lots
20
      of warnings.
21
 
22
    * Makefile Generation
23
      BuildSubDir and SubDir directives - cleanup paths.
24
 
25
    * Jats Utility: JatsFileUtil
26
      Better handling of double '\' in pathnames under windows.

Version:  3.1.0000.cr                               Released: 08-Nov-12
2074 dpurdie 31
------------------------------------------------------------------------
32
Major changes:
33
    * Make-time performance improvement of packaging
34
      Improved the performance of the 'packaging' and 'installing' operations
35
      by an order of magnitude under windows. Replaced the shell scripting of
36
      these operations with a dedicated program.
37
 
2312 dpurdie 38
      This change also addressed a long-time Windows issue with the packaging
2424 dpurdie 39
      of files into very long (>~250) paths as the utility supports the full
2074 dpurdie 40
      windows path scheme.
41
 
42
Minor changes:
2426 dpurdie 43
    * Command Changes: jats clobber
44
      The 'jats clobber' command has been significantly sped up
45
      The 'clobber' no longer unpackages and uninstalls files one by one
46
      from the relevant directories. The entire directory is deleted.
47
 
48
      The original sequence can still be perform, if required, with the commands
49
        jats make clobber
50
      This operates as before.
51
 
52
    * Utility: escrow
53
      Support to extract packages with a subdirectory structure that
54
      breaks the JATS rule that the TTB directory names are reserved.
55
      Some COTS packages break the rule.
56
 
2074 dpurdie 57
    * Utility: svn : delete-branch
58
      Modified the svn branch deletion operation.
59
        With no arguments it will show the current branch.
60
 
2424 dpurdie 61
    * Utility: svn : url
62
      Improved the conversions supported. Now handles leading SVN::
63
      and will decode tags of the form SVN::path::tag
64
 
65
    * Utility: svn : import
66
      Added a '-nocommit' option to allow the results of the import to be
67
      inspected before committing them to the Repository.
68
 
2354 dpurdie 69
    * Subversion Support
2424 dpurdie 70
      Detect authentication errors and issue user-friendly error messages
71
      showing the user what to do.
72
 
2354 dpurdie 73
      The special label of TIMESTAMP now creates a tag with a .WIP
74
      suffix. This allows the tag to be deleted in the VIX protected
75
      repositories.
76
 
2074 dpurdie 77
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2312 dpurdie 78
Version:  3.0.5000.cr                               Released: 05-Oct-12
79
------------------------------------------------------------------------
80
 
81
Minor changes:
82
    * Jats build
83
      Added a '-nopackages' option to allow the creation of version information
84
      files under conditions where the external packages are not available, such
85
      as within a JATS Sandbox.
86
 
87
      This option is intended to be used in conjunction with the 'interface'
88
      command, with a sandbox.
89
 
90
      ie: jats sandbox cmd -keepgoing build interface -nopackages
91

98
      Added two subcommands
99
        branch - to create a branch within a workspace
100
        switch - to switch a workspace to a branch, or tag.
101
                 Can also display available branches.
102
 
2053 dpurdie 103
    * Utility: sandbox. Subcommand: cmd

109
 
110
    * Utility: svnrelease and svnextract
111
      Modified the way that branches are created and used.
112
      Modified two options:
113
        -mkbranch=name. Will create a branch while extracting the package
114
                        The named branch must not exist
115
        -branch=name.   Will extract the head of the named branch - if it exists
116
                        The named branch must exist
117
      The two options are mutually exclusive.
118

      The name of the directory into which the package will be etracted
137
      has been greatly simplified, under most cases.
138

------------------------------------------------------------------------
151
 
152
Major changes:
153
    * Jats Version Number
154
      Rolled to version 3 as the build number was confusingly high
155
      Although the major version number has changed, JATS has not changed
156
      significantly.
157
 
158
Minor changes:

174
          file changes between workspace and branch head.
1341 dpurdie 175
 
176
Minor changes:
1359 dpurdie 177
    * Utility: New utility - rtag_extract
178
      Tool to extract a set of packages based on a Release Manager Release.
179
      Can limit the files extracted to one or more paths, or a list of packages.
180
      Provides supervised extraction of the set of packages.
181
      Use 'jats man rtag_extract' or online documentation.
182
 
1341 dpurdie 183
    * Utility: svnsave_build
184
      Failure to change the author of the build is not an error.
185
      This allows for non-standard repositories being used during consolidation
186
 
1348 dpurdie 187
    * Linux support utilities
188
      Add a version of 'addr2line' that understands the ELF file format

195
Major changes:
1328 dpurdie 196
    * Subversion Repository location
197
      The correct paths to the various SubVersion repositories is:
198
        GBE_SVN_URL_AUPERASVN01: https://auperasvn01.aupera.erggroup.com/svn
199
        GBE_SVN_URL_FRBESASVN01: http://frbesasvn01.frbesa.erggroup.com/svn
200
      Windows users may need to update there jats.bat file.
201
      These are Fully Qualified Domain Names.    
1269 dpurdie 202
 
203
Minor changes:
1328 dpurdie 204
    * Jats startup warning introduced in 2.100.5000.cr
205
      Now accepts both / and \ as path separators.
206
 
1269 dpurdie 207
    * Utility: svnrelease
208
      Modified the operation of the '-branch' to better mimic the ClearCase
209
      operation of the same command. If the specified branch exists, then it
210
      will be used, otherwise it will be created based on the specified tag.
211
 
1328 dpurdie 212
    * Utility: svnsave_build
213
      Modify the operation such that the 'author' of the saved build is set to
214
      that of the user that created the version that that build is based upon.
215
      This preserves the history of the build a lot better than tagging all
216
      builds as being done by 'buildadm'.
1269 dpurdie 217
 
218
    * Utility: ccdelete_view
219

      Added options to control the packages processed. The user can specify
223
      a range of packages and exclude or include specific packages.
224
 
225
      Subcommand: populate
226
      Added -exclude=name[,name]+ to allow specific packages to be excluded
227
      Add -all option to force dependency testing of packages already in the
228
      sandbox.
229
 
1269 dpurdie 230
    * Subversion Support
231
      With an automated build environment the use of a default Subversion
232
      repository is not supported.
233
 
234
      Creating a workspace will display the files being extracted providing
235
      a progress indication.
236
 
237
    * Jats Online Documentation
238
      Migrated several items from the VIX Wiki to the FAQ section of the
239
      online documentation.
240
 
1328 dpurdie 241
    * Generated makefiles
242
      Improved tracing of package archive source in comments

290
Minor changes:
387 dpurdie 291
    * GCC Toolmaking
383 dpurdie 292
      Use JATS' internal dependency generator. This is much faster than the
293
      use of the gcc as previously implemented.
294
 
295
    * New Platform: VIXITP
387 dpurdie 296
      Specialized platform for the VIX 'ITP' product.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
319
Major changes:
320
 
321
    * WIN32 Target (Visual Studio 6)
322
      This target will now consume headers/libraries from a VS6 directory.
323
      This has been provided to allow the use of Dinkumware_STL to be limited
324
      to this one compiler. Specifically we need to excluded the use of
325
      Dinkumware from VS2010 builds.
326
 
327
    * C# Toolchain
328
      Correctly detect missing .cs file in .resx /.cs file pair.

338
 
339
    * Escrow build on solaris_x86
340
      Added workaround for strange issue on X86 based Solaris machines
341
      The GBE_MACHTYPE EnvVar would disappear during the build process
342
 
343
    * Utility ccrelease
344
      The -extractfiles option nolonger uses a dynamic view to perform the
345
      extraction. It uses the same process as normal view creation.
346
 
347
    * Utility: svn
348
      Improved package import processing.
349
      Allow Date, Author and Log to be added to the imported package

377
Major changes:
378
 
379
Minor changes:
380
    * Command: jats clobber
381
      When building packages that use deploylib - remove the 'build/deploy'
382
      directory as a part of the clobber processing.
383
 
384
    * Jats wrapper. Environment Variable Cleanup (Windows Only)
385
      Force ALL EnvVars stored in the environment and passed to programs
386
      invoked by JATS to be converted to upper case.
387
 
388
      This solves problems associated with some programs that do not treat
389
      Windows EnvVars as case insensitive.
390
 
377 dpurdie 391
      A useful side effect of this change is that VS2010 running on
392
      64-bit Windows-7 will now locate the default installation of VS2010, as
393
      will many other toolsets.
375 dpurdie 394
 
395
    * jats svnlabel
396

      workspace and the correct branch/tag to place the label in.
401
 
402
    * Built Daemon support
403
      jats_svn_savebuild will now delete a WIP if its in the /tags/ directory.

Version:  2.99.0000.cr                               Released: 06-Jan-12
408
------------------------------------------------------------------------
409
Major changes:
410
    * GCC Toolset
411
      Modified the creation and maintenance of debug information.
412
      New methodology is:
413
        Debug information is created for both production and debug builds
414
        Debug information is placed in a .dbg file, which is linked to the
415
        executable, or shared library. The .dbg file is packaged in the manner
416
        as the main binary.
417
 
418
      This methodology does not bloat the binary with debug information, while
419
      retaining debug information. The binary transferred to an embedded
420
      device does not contain debug information, yet the image used in the
421
      debugger can still access the debug information. This is the best of
422
      both worlds.
423
 
424
Minor changes:

555
    * HTML Help
556
      Correct display of subheadings in the Table of Contents under IE8
557
 
558
    * jats build -noforce
559
      The 'quick' test to force a re-build now takes the value of
560
      GBE_BUILDFILTER into account. If the value changes, then a rebuild will
561
      be forced.
562
 
563
      This affect the 'jats all' and associated 'sandbox' commands.
564
 
565
    * Utility: ccrelease (jats release, jats extract)
566
      Improved the ClearCase config spec used to create the view.
567
 
568
      If the command specifies a branching rule, then the view will not allow
569
      directories above the package base to be branched. This will prevent
570
      unintentional branching within the root of the VOB.
571
 
572
      If the command does not specify a branching rule, the view now allows
573
      files and folders to be 'added' within the view, within the package. This
574
      feature is suppressed when the tool is used by the AutoBuilder, or when
575
      the load path contains only the name of the VOB.
576
 
577
    * Utility: svnrelease
578
      Remove duplicate package-name words from the generated workspace name to
579
      provide a cleaner workspace name.
580
 
581
      Allow the workspace to be deleted in 'release' mode by changing out of the
582
      workspace directory before attempting the delete.
583
 
584
    * Utility: svn
585
      Added 'test' to verify that the subversion CLI utility has been
586
      installed and can be used.
587
 
588
    * Toolset: CSharp
589
      Utilize features of cmdfile to simplify the generated makefile
590
      Force the generated command file to have correct directory separation
591
      character.
592
 
593
    * Toolset: SunWorks
594
      Corrected usage of the -erroff directive
595
      The later SunWorks compilers are more strict about its usage.
596
      May affect 64 Solaris builds as the incorrect usage may have been
597
      masking an error.
598
 
599
    * Toolset: Delphi7
600
      Correct library building process that had been broken by previous
601
      enhancement.

608
        - Return correct path to package
609
        - If no info is selected, then assume '--path'
610
 
611
    * build.pl directive: BuildPlatforms
612
      Added a '--Alias=Name[,Name]+' option. This allows the setting of
613
      a platform alias, when the platform is defined.
614
 
615
    * build.pl directive: BuildVersion
616
      Generate well formed VB6 definitions for packages that have dependent
617
      packages.

619
    * make command: show
620
      Improved the readability of the 'Alias Targets' list in the
621
      'jats make show' command.
622
 
623
    * Utility: create_dpkg
624
      When transferring files from a Windows file system to dpkg_archive
625
      ensure that the execute permission is set for all users.
626
 
627
      Allows 'GENERIC' packages to package up executables that will be
628
      executed on Unix machines.

      Partial work for DEVI-063950
813
 
814
    * makefile.pl directives
815
      Corrects and extended the operation of the platform-specifier.
816
      All non-platform options must be true, while the platform names are
817
      treated as before - any of them may be true. See MASS-00166 for full
818
      details.

Major changes:
828
 
829
Minor changes:
830
    * Jats Sandbox operation
831
      Don't remove .RUL files in sandbox testing of the build files
832
 
833
    * Jats MakeProject directive
834
      Added --TargetDebug= and --TargetProd=  to allow the default target
835
      of the project builds to be specified.
836
 
837
      Can be used in all targets that use a Visual Studio project or solution
838
      to build a package.
839
 
840
    * MergeLibrary directive
841
      New sub-option --InterfacePlain
842
      This will allow the use of 3rd party libraries that do not have a P or D
843
      suffix in the library name.
844
 
845
    * GenerateFiles directive
846
      Use of --Var(ObjDir) will cause the Object directory to a prequisite
847
      of the command. Similar for BinDir and LibDir.
848
 
849
    * BuildPlatform
850
      New option: --NoToolSet
851
      Supresses the check for the existance of the underlying toolset.
852
      Ensures that the user does not attempt to use the underlying toolset.
853
 
854
      To be used in packages that generate installers, where there is
855
      no compilation phase, but the package search mechanism may still
856
      need toolset specific information.
857
 
858
      Normally used in conjunction with --OnlyProd.
859
 
860
      eg: BuildPlatforms ( 'WIN32,--OnlyProd,--NoToolSet' );
861
 
862
Internal:
863
    * Jats EnvVars, ccrelease and svnrelease
864
      Factored out the default value of GBE_VIEWBASE and associated
865
      processing into jats.pl
866
 
867
      Expect GBE_VIEWBASE to be site specific. Defaults are suitable for
868
      a ClearCase site.

941
      files for Production and Debug builds.
942
 
943
Minor changes:
944
    * Jats sandbox command
945

969
      Correct a problem encountered when the name of an included file
970
      matches the name of a subdirectory within the include search path
971
      resulting in multiple builds.
972
 
973
    * SOLARIS and LINUX toolsets
974
      Corrected problem in dependency tracking of shared libraries
975
      Dependency between shared librares was not being used at all.
976
 
977
      Only affected Solaris and Linux builds
978
 
979
      Still an issue that affect all platforms that build shared libaries.
980
      Dependency tracking does not work correctly for both debug and
981
      production builds. It will work for the first one done.

Major changes:
987
 
988
Minor changes:
989
    * Jats label command
990
      New option '-entireview' to be used by the build daemon
991
      Not recommended for general use.
992
      Will locate the root of the current view and label all files and
993
      directories within the current view.
994
 
995
      Removed the double check of labeled files introduced in
996
      version 2.80.3000.cr as the problem has been found and corrected
997
      elsewhere.
998
 
999
    * Jats save_build
1000
      Use a better set of options of 'cleartool find' to speed up
1001
      the determination of a branch.
1002
 
1003
      Use the -entireview option of the jats label utility to speed
1004
      up labeling by the build daemons.
1005
 
1006
    * Jats build
1007
      Better handling of sandboxed packages.
1008
        Indicates that the dependency is from a sandbox
1009
        No overwrite warnings when reinstalling a package
1010
 
1011
    * Borland6 toolset
1012
      Changed the default value of where Borland6 is installed
1013
      to match the documented install location of:
1014
        c:\BCB6\CBuilder6
1015
 
1016
    * Jats build
1017
      Added -noforce option to only generate build files if they
1018
      are out of date. It will only recreate makefiles if needed.
1019
      This is a very quick operation.
1020
 
1021
      The default operation is '-force'. This will populate the
1022
      interface directory and generate makefiles.
1023
 
1024
    * Jats all [Experimental. Feed back welcome]
1025
      Uses the '-noforce' form of the build command such that build
1026
      files are only recreated if need be.
1027
 
1028
      The 'all' command will do what is needed in order to rebuild
1029
      the package. It will do a build, if need be, and then
1030
      make the package.
1031
 
1032
    * Jats sandbox
1033
      The 'all' command will perform a '-noforce' build followed by a make.
1034
 
1035
      The 'build' command will perform a build followed by a make. This will
1036
      be a complete build of all component packages.
1037
 
1038
      The 'jats sandbox all' command can be used to rebuild all
1039
      components in an efficient manner. If the build files have changed,
1040
      then the makefiles will be regenerated, other wise only the make phase
1041
      is performed.
1042
 
1043
Internal:
1044
    * build.pl

    * jats label command - Renaming a label
1081
      Address issue when renaming a label when the current ClearCase view is
1082
      based on the label. All operation after the rename must specify the VOB
1083
      name as ClearCase may no longer be able to determine the VOB.
1084
 
1085
    * Better handling of .lnk files used within sandboxes and local package
1086
      archives. Now strip all trailing white space correctly
1087
 
1088
    * Jats Sandbox stop files
1089
      Added 'stop.<GBE_MACHTYPE>' stop files to better support multi
1090
      platform builds.
1091
 
1092
    * Makefile rebuild test correctly locates interface directory in
1093
      cases where the source directory is above the build file in the
1094
      directory tree.
1095
 
1096

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1110
Major changes:
1111
    * New Utility: upddep - Update Dependencies
1112
      This utility will update the dependencies in a build.pl file to be
1113
      consistent with those of a given Release Manager Release. This simplifies
1114
      the operation of maintain build files during development.
1115
 
1116
      It will create an 'auto.pl' file, which JATS uses in preference to a
1117
      build.pl file. DO NOT check this file in.
1118
 
1119
      See:  'jats upddep -help'         - For brief help
1120
            'jats upddep -man'          - For full manual
1121
 
1122
      Examples:
1123
            jats upddep -show
1124
            jats upddep -show=vtk
1125
            jats upddep -rtag=6684
1126
 
1127
    * MicroTec Compiler toolset
1128
      When creating a ShardLibrary (THX) report missing libraries before
1129
      compiling the objects that go into the THX.
1130
 
1131
      This ensures that the error messages the describe the missing library
1132
      can be seen and are not masked by the building of the objects.
1133
 
1134
Minor changes:
1135
 
1136
Internal changes:

1142
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1143
Major changes:
1144
    * Makefile directive helper function: If
1145
      Used within another directive to enable or disable arguments passed to the
1146
      outer directive. The first argument is a 'platform' specifier - as in
1147
      all Jats Make directives. If making for the specified platform, then the
1148
      remainder of the arguments are inserted into the directives argument
1149
      stream.
1150
 
1151
      Example:
1152
 
1153
      SharedLib ( '*', 'mySharedLib', @OBJS
1154
                     , If ('WIN32',   '-llibrary1', '-llibrary2' )
1155
                     , If ('SOLARIS', '-llibrary3' )
1156
                     );
1157
Minor changes:
1158
    * Makefile directive: InstallLibs
1159
      Correctly installs, as libraries, files that are specified with a 'Src'
1160
      directive. This is consistent with the operation of the PackageLibs
1161
      directive.
1162
 
1163
    * GCC Toolkit
1164
      Changes to the shared library dependency processing to bring it inline
1165
      with other toolers. Will terminate after determining that some
1166
      libraries cannot be found. This will ensure that the error message is at
1167
      the point of termination.
1168
 
1169
    * Jats save_build utility
1170
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1171
      under windows.
1172
 
1173
    * Jats sandbox
1174
      ClearCase views created with in the sandbox are created with a tag that
1175
      is named after the sandbox. This allows multiple instances of a view
1176
      in different sandboxes.
1177
 
1178
    * Jats release
1179
      Display cleartool error messages when view creation fails.

      directory.
1191
 
1192
    * jats label utility
1193
      Improved handling of the -file and -dir options
1194
      These options will now label the directory elements within the paths
1195
      specified by these options, when used in conjunction with the -up option.
1196
      This simplified the process of labeling complex directory structures.
1197
 
1198
      Added -admin, to allow creation of global labels

        Exceptions              - Enable exception handling
317 dpurdie 1209
        noExceptions            - Disable
1210
      Default is to retain backward compatibility. It is mixed.
1211
      Example:
1212
        CompileOptions ('*', 'Exceptions' );
1213
 
1214
    * Solaris targets
1215
      Full support for a target called SOLARIS8_SPARC32
1216
      It is identical to SOLARIS in a 'sparc' build machine, but it is only
1217
      available on a 'sparc' build machine. Can be used to limit builds to one
1218
      machine type.

Version:  2.82.0000.cr                               Released: 18-Jan-10
1222
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1223
Major changes:
315 dpurdie 1224
    * New Build Platform: VB6
1225
      Jats has been enhanced to support the building of VB6 .vbg and .vbp
1226
      project files.
1227
 
1228
    * Build Directive BuildVersion.
1229
      This has been extended to allow the creation of Version Information in a
1230
      form that can be consumed by Visual Basic using '--Style=VB'
1231
 
1232
Minor changes:
1233
    * Added more internal documentation
1234
      Use jats help to see available documentation
1235
 
1236
    * Jats label -info command [DEVI-059929]
1237
      Fixed problem that prevent this command running on Unix systems.
1238
 
1239
    * Jats save_build utility
1240
      Corrected problem in unreserving a reserved checkout of a build.pl file
1241
      under windows.
1242
 
1243
    * Solaris 10, 64 Bit Sparc Builds
1244
      All compiles are done in a position independent manner (-KPIC)
1245
      This solved issues where static libraries are linked into shared
1246
      libraries.
1247
 
1248
    * Solaris builds
1249
      Program and Shared library dependency checking is now done before
1250
      the program/library objects are built. Thus errors associated with missing
1251
      dependencies occur before objects are built and the user can see the cause
1252
      of the build failure.
1253
 
1254
 
1255
Internal changes:
1256
    * Moved 'jats vars' functionality into a separate program
1257
      Moved associated documentation into the jats_vars tool
1258
 
1259
    * Moved some other internal documentation into InstallationNotes and
1260
      PkgArchive topics.

Version:  2.81.0000.cr                               Released: 12-Jan-10
1264
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1265
Major changes:
1266
    * Solaris Builds for 64 bit targets
1267
      Changes to fully support the SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_SPARC64
1268
      targets. These are using a different version of the compiler than the
1269
      existing 32-bit builds.
1270
 
1271
      64-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 12.1
1272
      32-Bit Solaris10 builds are performed with Sun Studio 11
1273
 
1274
Minor changes:
1275
    * jats label -exclude=nnn
1276
      Corrected problem with the -exclude option introduced in 2.80.3000.cr
1277
 
1278
    * Package searching
1279
      The BuildpkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives will search
1280
      both dpkg_archive and deploy_archive paths for packages.
1281
 
1282
      Allows JATS to be used to process deployable packages.
1283
 
1284
    * jats help
1285
      Modified the operation of the 'jats help' command.
1286
      This command now provides a gateway to the jats help system.
1287
 
1288
      Information provided by the previous 'jats help' can be achieved
1289
      with one of:
1290
        jats -h
1291
        jats help jats
1292
 
1293
Internal:
1294
    * cmdfile utility
1295
      Added macros:
1296
        @(sep,x,text)               - Reformat text with specified file sep
1297
        @(env,VarName)              - Extract text from an EnvVar
1298
 
1299
      Corrected
1300
        @(vsep,ident)               - Set path seperator (: or ;)
1301
        @(vhost,ident)              - Modify @(vlib) operation
1302
 
1303
      Extended
1304
        @(vpath)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1305
        @(vlib)                     - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1306
        @(vlint)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.
1307
        @(vglob)                    - Added optional 'sep' argument.

1311
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1312
Major changes:
1313
 
1314
Minor changes:
1315
 
1316
Internal changes
1317
    * Created a Pseudo package to describe the interface directory
1318
      This simplifies the various scanning algorithms within JATS
1319
      Useful side effects include:
1320
 
1321
        JATS plugins will be sourced from the interface directory if included
1322
        with a BuildPkgArchive. This will simplify debugging.
1323
 
1324
        [DEVI-059682] QtBase can be consumed via a BuildPkgArchive directive,
1325
        simplifying the process of packaging additional fonts.
1326
 
1327
        [DEVI-059685] Simplify implementation of --FromPackage options in other
1328
        tools, which obviates the need for QtBase to be consumed via a
1329
        BuildPkgArchive
1330
 
313 dpurdie 1331
    * Perl Modules
1332
      Included the most recent version of the Pod module within the JATS
1333
      release. This will:
1334
        * Ensure consistent cross platform behaviour
1335
        * Corrects issues within earlier releases of the Pod module - some
1336
          reported by ERG.
1337
        * Provide a basis for a better help system within JATS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1342
Major changes:
1343
 
1344
Minor changes:
1345
    * BuildTool utility: jats_save_build
1346
      Returns non-zero error code on labeling errors.
1347
      Deletes label on labeling errors.
1348
      Removed backward compatibility options as they are no longer used.
1349
 
1350
    * Jats label utility
1351
      Changes to assist in tracking down clearcase labeling errors
1352
 
1353
      Once labels have been applied a check is done to ensure that
1354
      the labels have been placed. The check is to attempt to find
1355
      new files and folders to label - there should be none.
1356
 
1357
    * Jats core
1358
      Improved the auto location of the base directory of the build to allow
1359
      for ant-based packages. Allows the jats 'create_dpkg' command to be
1360
      used to package ant based builds.

    * CSHARP toolset
1369
      Creation of unit tests was broken by 2.80.0000.cr
1370
      This is now fixed.
1371
 
309 dpurdie 1372
      The cmdfile utility creates paths with file path separators as discovered
307 dpurdie 1373
      in the PATH EnvVar. Now that PATH is nice it means that the use of cmdfile
309 dpurdie 1374
      to create shell scripts resulted in scripts with unsuitable separators.
307 dpurdie 1375
 
1376
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1377
      Extended the list of nodefaultlibs to include secchk.lib and ccrtrtti.lib
1378
 
1379

1384
Minor changes:
305 dpurdie 1385
    * Generating makefiles
1386
      Ensure that the 'BuildMake' directive is the last one in the build.pl file
307 dpurdie 1387
      Directives after this will not be processed correctly and now generate
305 dpurdie 1388
      an error.
1389
 
1390
    * WCEPSION_500_VS2005
307 dpurdie 1391
      Suppress use of -debug:cv when building libraries.
305 dpurdie 1392
 
1393
    * Build directive: BuildSrcArchive
307 dpurdie 1394
      Highly specialized directive.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1400
Major changes:
1401
    * New target: WCEPSION_500_VS2005
1402
      A build of the Psion CE 5.0 under VS2005
1403
      This target has been added to the WINCE target.
1404
 
1405
      WCEPSION_500_VS2005 build cannot consume build artifacts from the
1406
      WCEPSION_500. The two are separate.
1407
 
1408
    * Support for building WinCE targets under VS2005
1409
      Currently only the WCEPSION_500_VS2005 is fully supported
1410
      Support includes
1411
        * Building of executables and DLLs via jats directives
1412
        * Building of components via VS2005 'solution' files
1413
 
1414
Minor changes:
1415
    * Build file processing
1416
      Better detection of bad platform names under Windows
1417
      Note: All platform names should be in uppercase.
1418
 
1419
    * MOS builds
1420
      If a 'product' name not known to JATS is used and a board base address
1421
      is specified then no warnings are generated indicating an unknown 'product'
1422
 
1423
    * MOS builds
1424
      New 'known' product: PICP
1425
      Identical to the TP5 in all but name.
1426
 
1427
    * GenerateFiles directive
1428
        Better handling of '\' when passing arguments to a command line
1429
        under windows.
1430
 
1431
        .
1432
 
1433
    * Verbose builds now show command files
1434
      Currently only supported for WIN32 and WINCE builds.
1435
 
1436
      The use of 'OPTIONS=args' will cause the linker command file to be dumped
1437
      to the output stream.
1438
 
1439
      This facility will be retrofitted to other platform targets in the future.
1440
 
1441
    * Windows Shell
1442
      The shell provided with JATS for use under Windows has been modified so
1443
      that the COMSPEC and PATH variables are correctly formatted with '\'
1444
 
1445
      Addresses issues when invoking Windows tools and programs from within JATS.
1446
 
1447
    * H8S toolset
1448
      Ensure the the EnvVar CYGWIN is not set.
1449
 
1450
      If 'binmode' is set then the gcc compiler used by the H8S toolset cannot
1451
      handle macros that use line continuation.
1452
 
1453
Internal changes
1454
    * WinCe builds
1455
      Changed name of internal file 'toolset/vcwce' to better represent the
1456
      content of the file.
1457
 
1458
      Many internal changes to better support VS2005 and EVC
1459
 
1460
      Macros to encode and decode paths with embedded spaces.
1461
      Currently only used in WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.

1473
Major changes:
1474
 
1475
Minor changes:
1476
    * DPACKAGE file created on multiple machines [DEVI-054973]
1477
      DPACKAGE files are now machine specific.
1478
      Changes are transparent to users.
1479
 
1480
    * Creating static libraries without any object files is treated
1481
      as an error. The Microtec tools sets will create a 'pop-up' if
1482
      this occurs.
1483
 
1484
    * The LinkSandbox directive is not allowed when GBE_ABT is set.
1485
      This directive is highly discouraged in development: Use a jats 'sandbox'
1486
      Moreover it is not reproducible and thus not supported within the
1487
      automated build framework.
1488
 
1489
    * jats sandbox command
1490
      Added support to delete the sandbox metadata. This undoes the
1491
      'create' command.
1492
 
1493
    * jats command aliases. Added
1494
        jats extractfiles to be jats release -extractfiles
1495
        jats extract      to be jats release -extract

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1500
Major changes:
1501
    * Jats Command line and -java option
1502
      This version will place the specified java's 'bin' directory into
1503
      the PATH. Thus the commands:
1504
            jats -java=1.6 eprog java -version
1505
            jats -java=1.6 ant build
1506
      will work as expected
1507
 
1508
Minor changes:
1509
    * VS2008 Toolset
1510
      Picking up incorrect config details
1511
      May result in a warning message.
1512
 
1513
    * gen_cots utility
1514
      New option to allow use without ClearCase dependencies.
1515
      Its simply creates a buildable package image.
1516
 
1517
    * DELPHI7 toolset
1518
      Correct the definition of the Debug option '-$D+'
1519
      In debug mode, add $DELPHI/lib/debug to the search paths

------------------------------------------------------------------------
1566
Major changes:
1567
    * New Platform: DELPHI7
1568
      Support the creation of Units,Libraries, Packages and Programs using
1569
      Borlands Delphi Version 7.
1570
 
1571
      See Jats Reference Manual for complete details and Delphi specific options
1572
      to the Prog and SharedLib directives.
1573
 
1574
      This toolset has a number of limitations:
1575
        1) It can build either Debug or Production, but not both, in a single
1576
           makefile.pl. This is caused by the Delphi limitation that library
1577
           names cannot be changed.
1578
 
1579
        2) The generation of dependencies between the source and the generated
1580
           artifacts is very simplistic.
1581
 
1582
      Units are generated with the 'Lib' directive. The name of the Unit and the
1583
      name of the source are linked. The source should not be provided.
1584
        ie: Lib ('*', 'MyUnit' );
1585
      Will create a unit called MyUnit.dcu from the source file 'MyUnit.pas'
1586
 
1587
      Packages are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpk
1588
      file.
1589
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyPackage' );
1590
      will create a package called MyPackage.bpl/dcp from the source file
1591
      MyPackage.dpk.
1592
 
1593
      Libraries are generated with the SharedLib directive starting with a .dpr
1594
      file.
1595
        ie: SharedLib  ( '*', 'MyDll' );
1596
      will create a package called MyDll.dll/lib from the source file
1597
      MyDll.dpr.
1598
 
1599
      Programs are generated with the Prog directive starting with a .dpr
1600
      file.
1601
        ie: Prog  ( '*', 'MyProg' );
1602
      will create a package called MyProg.exe from the source file
1603
      MyProg.dpr.
1604
 
1605
Minor changes:
1606
    * New EnvVar: DELPHI7
1607
      Required only if Borland Delphi 7 has not being installed in the
1608
      standard location or if the Windows Short Name is not
1609
      c:\PROGRA~1\Borland\Delphi7
1610
 
1611
    * BuildVersion directive
1612
      Added a 'Style' of 'Delphi' to allow the generation of version information
1613
      in a Delphi Unit.
1614
 
1615
      Modified the operation of the "C" style generation.
1616
      If the name of the file is provided via '--File', then the generated files
1617
      will be 'known' to JATS and can be consumed from any makefile. JATS will
1618
      'know' the location of the files.
1619
 
1620
    * Sanity test on the names of libraries and programs
1621
      Some characters are not allowed: ie: '/' as this is a mistake.
1622
 
1623
Internal Changes:
1624
    * ToolsetSHLD functions
1625
      Pass in the shared library version string as an argument
1626
      Means that the core of JATS can manage this information in a manner
1627
      that is decoupled from the toolsets.
1628
 
1629
    * Reworked the mechanism used to hold data about libraries, shared libraries
1630
      merged libraries and programs. Created a class to manipulate build targets
1631
      and to maintain information about the contents of the targets.

1635
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1636
Major changes:
1637
    * Correctly generate dependencies for C++ only builds
1638
      Many tools sets ( gcc and others) would not generate makefile dependency
1639
      information for purely C++ builds.
1640
 
289 dpurdie 1641
    * Jats.bat and Jats.sh now provide a default Read Only username/password
1642
      for Release Manager and Deployment Manager.
287 dpurdie 1643
 
289 dpurdie 1644
      NOTE: Windows users will need to update their JATS.BAT file in order
1645
            to pick up changed passwords for Release Manager and Deployment
1646
            Manager
287 dpurdie 1647
 
1648
Minor changes:
1649
    * The jats option '-noexportvars' deletes selected JATS EnvVars from the

1651
 
1652
    * updatenodespec utility
1653
      Correct the SQL statements to work with ReadOnly access to the Deployment
1654

1690
Minor changes:
1691
    * New command: jats make show
1692
      Will display the platfroms, alias definitions and the makefile paths
1693
      used in the build.
1694
 
1695
    * Escrow command
1696
      Now supports extraction based on a single package and version
1697
 
1698
    * Build File Rewrite Utility
1699
      Added a '-validate' option to allow the build daemons to validate the
1700
      build files against the Release Manager information.
1701
 
1702
      Improved error reporting to make it clear that the problem is a mis-match
1703
      between Release Manager and the package's build files.
1704

277 dpurdie 1707
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1708
Major changes:
279 dpurdie 1709
    * GBE_BUILDFILTER configuration has been simplified
277 dpurdie 1710
 
279 dpurdie 1711
      JATS will automatically filter out target platforms that cannot be built
1712
      on the users machine. ie: It will not try to build Solaris targets on a
1713
      Windows machine. Thus, under the new scheme a Windows GBE_BUILDFILTER need
281 dpurdie 1714
      not contain '!SOLARIS'
279 dpurdie 1715
 
1716
      This greatly simplifies the creation of GBE_BUILDFILTER as it does not
1717
      need to be configured to exclude targets that cannot by built.
1718
 
1719
      Existing GBE_BUILDFILTER definitions are backward compatible.
1720
 
1721
    * Jats utility : gen_cots
1722
      Requires the user to specify a target VOB with the -vob option
1723
        Ensures the user is aware of the target VOB
1724
 
1725
      Now creates temporary directory within the users TEMP directory.
1726
        Addresses problems where the user's CWD is within the package being
1727
        processed.
1728
 
1729
      Removed the '-delete' option
1730
        Always delete the temp work directory if it exists.    
1731
 
277 dpurdie 1732
Minor changes:
279 dpurdie 1733
    * Sandbox command
1734
      Added build, make, clean, clobber commands
1735
 
1736
      Sandbox packages may contain a file called 'stop', to exclude the
1737
      target from consideration in the build set.
1738
 
1739
    * MCR Toolset
1740
      This toolset only supports 16 compiler search paths. An descriptive error
1741
      has been added to detect and report on this error.
1742
 
1743
    * WIN32 and PHARLAP toolsets
1744
      The --Resource=xxx option specifies a comma separated list of files.
1745
      Spaces are now allowed either side of the comma.
1746
        ie: "--Resource=file1.h, File2.h"
1747
 
1748
    * Jats run_test command
1749
      Removed a non-fatal warning message that was being generated when the
1750
      tests we run on a Window machine.
1751
 
1752
    * descpkg file
1753
      Now contains HOSTNAME of the build machine
1754
      Not (yet) aggregated when packages are merged
1755
 
1756
   * built.<machine> tag files created by create_dpkg
1757
     Now contains build trace information
1758
        Date-Time, Machine, User, ABT config
1759
 
1760
   * jats abt command simplified usage
1761
     This command now appends the current directory as a library path to ANT if
1762
     it contains 'jar' files.
1763
 
1764
     Uses ANT 1.6 as the default version of ANT
1765
 
1766
     Both changes will simplify the use of this command within the escrow
1767
     environment. ie: 'jats abt -buildfile=build1.xml'
1768
 
1769
   * BuildVersion directive
1770
     Form:
1771
        BuildVersion ('--Style=C');
1772
     now works as expected.
1773
     Slightly better error detection on the directives arguments.
1774
 
1775
Internal Changes:
1776
 
1777
    * Error reporting mechanism
1778
      Improved the error reporting mechanism. Allowed a function to
1779
      create modify the error reporting parameters in such a manner that the
1780
      original values are restored at the end of a function.

1792
    then starts.
1793
 
1794
    Limit searches for local and sandbox archives to the '/home' directory
1795
    so that the Unix auto mounter does not report errors.
1796
 
1797
  * Jats makefiles. Platform Specifier
1798
    The Platform Specifier has been extended to support a '--MachType=name'
1799
    non-platform option.
1800
 
279 dpurdie 1801
    This may be used to limit Java builds to a 'win32' machine if required.

    Jats utility 'release' [DEVI-051370 ]
1940
    The utility will place a tag file in the root of the package
1941
    as specified by the '-path' option. This will be used by the build tool
1942
    tool re-locate the root of the package and thus allow the correct generation

    * Jats option '-locate' correctly locates ANT build files [DEVI-052423]
1956
 
1957
    * Allow Deployable packages to be built on some, but not all, of the
1958
      build machines and correctly package the descpkg file. [DEVI-052422]
1959
 
1960
    * JATS CompileOptions directive  [DEVI-052426]
1961

        no_define_source_file
1963
        define_source_file              (Default)
1964
 
1965
      The 'no_define_source_file' will suppress the compile definition __SOURCE__
1966
      Currently only implemented for WIN32 and WINCE toolsets.
1967
 
1968
      The __SOURCE__ definition renders pre-compiled headers useless.
1969
      This option has not be enabled by default to ensure backward
1970
      compatibility.
1971
 
1972
    * Jats directives: MakeProject

1976
            --InstallProg=list
1977
 
1978
      These allows files that are created by the project builder to be
1979
      installed locally to be consumed by such packaging directives as
1980
      GenerateCab.
1981
 
1982
    * Jats directives: AddLDFlags and AddASFlags

2218
         Support extends to allow:
2219
            1) Building of Csharp source using standard JATS
2220
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2221
         Can consume files from CSHARP and WIN32 components.
2222
 
2223
        VS2005
2224
         Support extends to allow:
2225
            1) Building of C and C++ source using standard JATS
2226
            2) Build Visual Studio solutions
2227
         Can consume files from VS2003 and WIN32 components.
2228
 
2229
      The existing WIN32 and CSHARP platforms can also utilize VS2005
2230
      through a version selector:
2231
        WIN32 Toolset   - "MS.NET2005"
2232
        CSHARP Toolset  - "MS.NET2005"
2233
 
2234
    * Version of Make for Win32 builds
2235
      The version of Make has been upgraded to 3.81 to provide access
2236
      to macros to simplify support for the MS VS2005.
2237
 
2238
    * CSHARP and WIN32 platforms
2239
      The LIB path uses to locate libraries and DLLs has been altered to:
2240
        - Contain absolute paths. Relative paths did not work under all
2241
          conditions when building projects and solutions.
2242
        - Contain valid paths. JATS generated paths that do not physically exist
2243
          will be removed from the search path. This removes warning messages
2244
          under VS2005.
2245
 
2246
Minor changes:
2247
    * New Jats utility: dstatus

2255
      Extended LinuxDrivers directive to allow for powerpc.
2256
 
2257
      Updated the MakeLinuxDriver directive to use EXTRA_CFLAGS as CFLAGS
2258
      has been removed. This change is backwardly compatible.
2259
 
2260
    * Modified all utilities to avoid a Perl-10 warning message [DEVI-049018]
2261
      Improved usage of the 'require' statement used to check for
2262
      a minimal value of perl.
2263
 
2264
      Removed excessive require statements.
2265

2270
        2) Linux
2271
 
2272
      JATS now includes binaries for make.
2273
      This will ensure that the version of make being used will be known for all
2274
      machines. Gnu make does not need to be installed for the various build
2275
      machines.
2276
 
2277
    * JATS internal utility sh.exe (windows)
2278

2282
      to be set to either '-' or 'none'. The associated path will set to empty.
2283
 
2284
      This can be used to override defaults that may be inserted by the JATS
2285
      wrapper scripts.
2286
 
2287
    * JATS utility: sandbox (Experimental)
2288
      Correct problem with location of build files.

    Added --NoMugFiles option to suppress the creation of Mug Files
2376
    This allows THX files to be collected for possible deployment.
2377
 
2378
    When this option is enabled, the user does not need to specify the
2379
    Device ID, Name or Tier Number, nor are the external tools packages
2380
    required.
2381
 
2382
  * Makefile creation: BuildVersion directive
2383
    Modified the operation of the BuildVersion directive such that the
2384
    location of the files that are generated will be known to the Jats
2385
    makefiles. In this manner the user doesn't not need to know the location of
2386
    the files in order to use them.
2387
 
2388
    The file will need to be declared with a 'Src' directive, but JATS will
2389
    locate the file.
2390
 
2391
    This options does not occur for the 'C' version files. This is intentional
2392
    to ensure backward compatibility.
2393
 
2394
    The operation does occur for version files of Style:
2395
        * CSharp
2396
        * Properties
2397
        * WinRC
2398
 
2399
  * JATS directive: CompileOptions
2400
    Correct operation of options that make use of assigned values.
2401
    The case of the value is now preserved.
2402
    Value is correctly assigned.
2403

Version:  2.74.0000.cr                               Released: 29-Apr-08
2406
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2407
Major changes:
245 dpurdie 2408
  * M16C toolset. Used by the MPR platform to build MCRFirmware [DEVI-047555]
2409
    Corrected the version number embedded in the generated THX file.
2410
 
2411
    Major and minor numbers greater than 9 were incorrectly represented
2412
    Added a test to ensure that the major and minor numbers are in the range
2413
    of 0 to 99 inclusive.
2414
 
2415
  * Auto-build when multiple build.pl files are labelled [DEVI-047461]
2416
    Modified JATS to allow support for the automated building of packages that
2417
    contain multiple, labeled, build files.
2418
 
2419
    Added a '-locatepkg=pkg' option to the Jats wrapper script. This allows the
2420
    user to specify the package to be selected from those that can be found.
2421
    This will be integrated into the build tool.
2422
 
2423
    Modified the operation of the 'jats release' command to use the
2424
    infrastructure provided by the above feature. Testing a release uses the
2425
    additional information to ensure that the created package name and version are
2426
    correct.
2427
 
2428
    Modified the operation of the (experimental) 'jats sandbox command to use
2429
    the infrastructure provided by the above feature.
2430
 
2431
Minor changes:
2432
  * Solaris Toolset [DEVI-047398]
2433
    The toolset no longer requires that the user have the compiler and the
247 dpurdie 2434
    'ar' utility in their path. It will be controlled by the toolset.
245 dpurdie 2435
 
2436
    This should improve build reproducibility.
2437
    This will simplify new user setup.
2438
 
2439
  * All Unix Toolsets
2440
    Corrected the operation of the 'options=showenv' so that it works
2441
    on unix systems
2442
 
2443
  * JATS release utility  [DEVI-047356]
2444
    Fixed problem where utility would issue a 'Broken Pipe' message
2445
    on some Solaris Machines.
2446
 
2447
  * JATS -version=<version>
2448
    Fixed operation on machines that do not have a GBE_DPKG_CACHE such that
2449
    JATS does not attempt to cache the alternate version.
2450
 
2451

Major changes:
243 dpurdie 2455
    * New platform: WCEPSION_500_emu [DEVI-047234]
245 dpurdie 2456
      Creates binaries for the WCEPSION_500 emulator
243 dpurdie 2457
      Added this platform to the default 'WINCE' alias.
2458
 
2459
Minor changes:
2460
    * JATS escrow utility [DEVI-047232]
2461
      Handle package names that have spaces and brackets
2462
 
2463
    * JATS release utility [DEVI-047232]
2464
      Handle view names that have spaces and brackets
2465
 
2466
    * Removed detection of unknown platforms
2467
      Does not work with LMOS
2468
 
2469
    * Readme.txt file
2470
      Added a brief description on the core_devl directory structure.
2471
 
2472
    * Misc Cleanup
2473
      Removed version-1 test that is not applicable to the current jats
2474
      Move PostInstall script into the BUILD directory.
2475

  * MOS68K Toolset (Not MOS68KRM)
2481
    Force compiler option -nOj
2482
    The default compiler option (-Oj) has been seen to cause problems with some
2483
    code. Problem reported/analysed by rparker and thunter.
237 dpurdie 2484
 
241 dpurdie 2485
  * MOS68K Toolset (Not MOS68KRM)
2486

2488
 
237 dpurdie 2489
Minor changes:
241 dpurdie 2490
  * JATS makefiles
2491
    Correct problem where a Production/Debug only build would create OBJ
2492
    directories for both production and debug, and not clean them up.
2493
 
2494
  * JATS builds
2495
    Allow ANT builds to be run in verbose mode to facilitate debugging
2496
    The command "make all options=args" will run the ANT builds in 'verbose'
2497
    mode.
2498
 
2499
  * JATS makefiles
2500
    Extended the 'selector' used in all makefile directives - as the first
2501
    argument. Added two non-platform related options:
2502
        --Project=xxxx      True if the package suffix matches
2503
        --Defined=yyy       True if yyy is declared with a SetValue or
2504
                            SetList directive.
2505
 
2506
    ie: AddSrcDir ('--Project=sls' , 'sls' );

        --PackageToolProd=xxx
2513
        --PackageToolDebug=xxx
2514
 
2515
  * JATS buildfile processing
2516
    Generate a warning for build platforms that are unknown to JATS
2517
    These may be the result of a user typo or an incompatible version
2518
    of JATS.
2519
 
2520
  * JATS save_build utility
2521
    Correctly handle autobuild branches that contain multiple checkouts, one of
2522
    which may be reserved.
2523
 
2524
  * JATS gen_cots utility
2525
    Correctly labels directories up to the VOB root.
2526
    Displays the correct 'Source Path' in the Release Manager Information.
2527
    Ignores the 'administration_view' as this is read-only
2528
 
2529
  * JATS sandbox (experimental)
2530
    Ensure the AutoBuildTool does not use any sandbox
2531
 
2532

2537
    such that the direction cannot use a a relative path.
2538
 
2539
    * Escrow tool
2540
      Creates a simple HTML file that details all the packages with a short
2541
      description.

Minor changes:
239 dpurdie 2549
    * Corrected operation of GBE_PLATFORM, when building a GENERIC package.
2550
      A GENERIC package can now be built independently of the value
2551
      of GBE_PLATFORM.
2552
 
2553
    * MOS Toolset
2554
      If only building for a production target, then don't generate an error
2555
      if there is no debug data and code addresses specified.
2556
 
2557
      Use to build platform independent MOS Releases. Cannot have debug, but
2558
      can have production (PIC) components.
2559
 
2560
    * Utility command: jats abt
2561
      Parse and use -buildfile=xxx option
2562
 
2563
    * Utility command: jats extract -extractfiles
2564
      The extractfiles option will now duplicate empty directories
2565
 
2566
    * Building ANT projects under JATS
2567
      Ensure that the PATH is correctly setup so that ANT can locate
2568
      utilities within the JAVA directory - for both Solaris and Windows.
2569
      Previously only worked on Windows

      Corrected problem when command line quoted arguments with a space are
241 dpurdie 2582
      passed in. ie: -xxx="aaa bbb ccc"
237 dpurdie 2583
 
2584

    * New Toolset: BORLAND
2595
      The toolset uses the Borland C++ Builder 6 to build Borland Project
2596
      files via the MakeProject directive.
231 dpurdie 2597
 
235 dpurdie 2598
      In this release there is no support for native compilation and linking.

231 dpurdie 2602
Minor changes:
235 dpurdie 2603
    * Extract/Release utility.
2604
      Handle Source Path option with spaces by creating a config spec
2605
      that can handle spaces
2606
 
2607
    * MOS Compiler
2608
      The TMP directory used by the assembler will be created before the
2609
      assembler is invoked. This will ensure that the directory exists.
2610
 
2611
    * Utility: create_dpkg
2612
      Uses the first 'descpkg' file found. Allows packages that have embedded
2613
      descpkg files to be copied.
2614
 
2615
    * AVR_IAR Toolset
2616
      Added support for AT90SC144144CT - by David Payne.
2617
 
2618
    * JATS ANT command
2619
      Better selection of the ant build file
2620
 
2621
    * Build directive: BuildVersion
2622
      Extended the WinRc version file to allow the name of an icon to be
2623
      embedded in the .RC file.

Minor changes:
233 dpurdie 2631
    * Building JATS. Installer will set a+x in dpkg_archive
2632
 
2633
    * JATS rewrite. Remove the need  for the 'name=' attribute in the
2634
      <project> field.
2635
 
2636
    * CCdiff utility
2637
      Now ignores blank lines when generating a file difference report.
2638
 
2639
    * Escrow utility
2640
      Quote 'path' in the generated extraction commands
2641
      Allow escrow to be based on a single Release Manager package

2650
Minor changes:
231 dpurdie 2651
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2 [DEVI-044908]
2652
      Locates BeyondCompare through the Windows Registry. This allows
2653
      BeyondCompare to be installed in places other then the default location.
2654
 
2655
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
2656
      Windows. Batch file modified so that it doesn't exit the shell.
2657
 
2658
    * Jats wrapper
2659
      If JATS attempts to cache itself and an error is reported by the caching
2660
      utility, then Jats would fail without reporting an error message.
2661

2664
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2665
Major changes:
229 dpurdie 2666
    * Jats Release Mechanism
2667
      Jats can now release itself. This is not the same a building all of its
2668
      internal components, but it does mean that a new version of JATS can be
2669
      released using the 'standard' mechanism.
2670
 
2671
      Jats releases will be tracked in Release Manager.
2672
 
2673
      A side effect of this is that the labelling scheme will change to align
2674
      itself with Release Manager. ie: <package_name>_<package_version>.
2675
 
2676
    * Running Jats
2677
      Running Jats from within a ClearCase view is being deprecated.
2678
      Jats should be run from a package present in dpkg_archive.
2679
      This may affect some windows developers.
2680
 
2681
      This release of JATS can be run from ClearCase, but generates a warning.
2682
      Future versions will generate an error.
2683
 
2684
      Refer to MASS-00164 Installing and Using JATS.
2685
 
2686
Minor changes:
2687
    * Perl Version Check
2688
      Jats will generate a warning if the version of Perl in use is newer
2689
      than the version used in test. Newer versions are not always backward
2690
      compatible. Currently JATS has been extensively tested with 5.8.8.
2691
 
2692
    * Build Directive: BuildVersion
2693
      This directive has been extended to allow the creation of a 'properties'
2694
      file. This file may be used to pass version information into a an ANT
2695
      build.
2696
 
2697
    * Jats Internals
2698
      Minor fix to interwork with Perl version 5.10.
2699
      Perl 5.10 has not been extensively tested - yet.
2700
 
2701
    * Jats Tool: CCbc2
2702
      Added utility to use BeyondCompare (BC2) to compare files in two
2703
      packages defined as ClearCase labels. The utility creates two dynamic views
2704
      and starts BeyondCompare. The views are destroyed at the end of the
2705
      process.
2706
 
2707
      Requires BeyondCompare to be installed in its default location.
2708
      Only works under Windows.
2709
 
2710
      Use jats CCbc2 -help (or -man) for further details.
2711
 
2712
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.sh
2713
      Marked as executable, so that users can run them directly
2714
 
2715
    * Jats test runtime helper scripts set_PLATFORM.bat
2716
      Uses SETLOCAL / ENDLOCAL to prevent environment variables being exported
2717
      into the parent space. This mimics the behaviour of Unix.
2718
 
2719
    * Jats eprog
2720
      Consistent cross-platform handling of programs found in the current
2721
      directory.
2722
 
2723
    * jats tool jats_metrics
2724
      A new utility that will be used by the Automated Build System to collect
2725
      build metrics.
2726
 
2727

2729
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2730
Major changes:
2731
 
2732
Minor changes:
2733
    * Jats Tool: create_dpkg
2734
      Added options to allow the utility to sanity test the package name and
2735
      version of the package being created. This is intended to be used by the
2736
      automated build system. New options are:
2737
        -pname=Package_Name
2738
        -pversion=Package_Version
2739
 
2740
      Added option to allow the source package form to be tested, without
2741
      transferring the package. New options are:
2742
        -test
2743
 
2744
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
2745
      -output=filename now works. Previously only -out=filename worked.
2746
      -vob=name does not generate internal message under unix
2747
 
2748
    * JATS Environment variables GBE_BUILDFILTER and GBE_PLATFORM can be either
2749
      a space separated or a comma separated list.
2750
 
2751
    * Solaris Toolset
2752
      Disable the use of purify, purecov and quantify when building shared
2753
      libraries. Shared libraries are not supported by these tools. Executable
2754
      programs are still supported.
2755

2757
Version: 2.71.5.cr                                Released: 07-Dec-07
2758
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2759
Major changes:
2760
 
2761
Minor changes:
2762
    * WINCE toolsets
2763
      Added a run-time test for the presence of the required toolset
2764
      This will report an error if the required WINCE toolset has not been
2765
      installed. This is better than obscure message generated by the compilers
2766
      when header files cannot be found.
2767
 
2768
    * GenerateFiles directive
2769
      If the generating tool can only be found in the users path, don't make
2770
      it a prequisite under Windows. There are problems with spaces in pathnames
2771
      that are difficult to solve.
2772
 
2773
    * MakePerlModule directive
2774
      Extended the directive syntax to allow command line options to be passed
2775

2780
      -dirs=xxx options.
2781
 
2782
    * Jats Tool: release
2783
      Corrected a problem when multiple ant builds where located within the
2784
      build view. Now all ants builds will be perform.
2785
 
2786
      Expanded the operation of the '-build=name' option such that it can be
2787
      used to limit ANT builds by specifying the name of the depends.xml file.
2788
 
2789
    * Jats Tool: CCdiff
2790
      Added utility to provide difference reports in a format suitable to be
2791
      uploaded to CodeStriker.
2792
 
2793

2886
      SharedLibries.
2887
        The --Def=name option supports two types of def file
2888
        The 'old' form is used if the name of the Def file ends in .def
2889
 
2890
        The 'old' form is created by the existing versions of mod_if.pl
2891
        The 'new' form is created by tne new versions (daf_tools 25.1.5000.cr)
2892
        of mod_if - if the name of the file does not end in .def.

2898
            MultiScan will scan the libraries until no more undefined references
2899
            can be satisfied. This may simplify linking of complex programs.

2905
Major changes:
2906
 
2907
Minor changes:
2908
    PackageLib directive
2909
    The construct "PackageLib( '*', @SHLIBS, @LIBS );" now works as expected.
2910
    Packaging multiple libraries and shared libraries works as expected.
2911
    Packaging multiple shared libraries works as expected.
2912
 
2913
    MakefileGenerate directive
2914
    This directive should only be called once. JATS will now generate a warning,
2915
    and not produce an erroneous, if the directive is invoked more than once.
2916
 
2917
    Multiple Parent detection
2918
    A makefile.pl that is invoked from more than one other makefile.pl, or the
2919
    build.pl, is counted as having multiple parents. This condition is
2920
    normally treated as an error. When run by the Auto Built Tool, this
2921
    condition will be treated as a warning.
2922
 
2923
    Solaris Toolset
2924
    Added option '--WithMisalign' to the SharedLib directive.
2925
    When used in conjunction with the 'misalign' CompleOption this option will
2926
    cause a machine specific object file (misalign.o) to be included in the
2927
    link.
2928
 
2929
    Programs that are created with 'misalign' will automatically include the
2930
    misalign.o object file. The fact that shared libraries do not may be an
2931
    indication that this is a bad thing to do.
2932
 
2933
    Make and generation of subdirectories
2934
    Fixed an issue which caused created directories to have a bad timestamp.
2935
    This could result in multiple attempts to generate the source dependency
2936
    file.

2940
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2941
Major changes:
2942
    Makefile generation and make recursion
2943
    Extensive changes to the makefiles that are generated by JATS and method by
2944
    which JATS recuses through subdirectories during a build.
2945
 
2946
    Summary of changes:
2947
        - Removed the use of 'make' to perform recursion over subdirectories
2948
          and platforms. This has been replaced by a JATS program  that performs
2949
          the same task - only a great deal faster and with a greater scope for
2950
          flexibility.
2951
 
2952
          The user interface remains identical: jats make ....
2953
 
2954
        - Replaced the generated 'Makefile' with 'Makefile.gbe'. This is a text
2955
          file that provides sufficient information to allow JATS to locate the
2956
          interface directory and associated build information.
2957
 
2958
        - Significant speed up in determining the need to rebuild a makefile.
2959
          On a large package this has been reduced from 30+ seconds to less
2960
          than one second.
2961
 
2962
        - Significant speed up of large recursive builds through intelligent
2963
          building of the 'make_init' target. This is only processed once for
2964
          each platform type. Previously it was processed in each and every
2965
          makefile. This make target is used, internally, to perform sanity
2966
          testing of the compiler environment and to display the name of the
2967
          toolset. It is an expensive operation.
2968
 
2969
        - Intelligent speed up of large recursive through better mechanism
2970
          for creating required directories. These are now created on the fly,
2971
          rather than via a slow recursive pass though all makefiles.
2972
 
2973
        - Better makefile rebuilding
2974
          Makefiles can be rebuilt on the fly. The previous system was prone to
2975
          detecting that makefiles needs to be re-built, but then not re-
2976
          building them.
2977
 
2978
        - Detection of build file changes
2979
          The make process will detect that the build file has been modified
2980
          and that the component has not been rebuilt. This is a warning. It
2981
          does not prevent the 'make' operation.
2982
 
2983
        - Quieter make output
2984
          The 'Nothing to be done' message has been disabled.
2985
 
2986
 
2987
Minor changes:
2988
    MakeAnt Directive
2989
    Allows ANT_HOME to be a path with spaces. ie: c:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.6.5
2990
 
2991
    JATS command "debug" and "prod"
2992
    These now handle make arguments and options correctly. Thus the command:
2993
        jats prod WIN32 OPTIONS=args
2994
    Will correctly do a production build for WIN32 with command execution
2995
    display. Before, the system would attempt to process prod_OPTIONS=args.
2996
 
2997
    CSHARP toolset
2998
    Correctly detect missing compiler directories

    MakeAnt
3010
    If the Ant build fails JATS will terminate.
3011
    Previously JATS would continue until another error forced its termination.
3012
    This is done through a better startup of ANT using the
3013
    org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Launcher directly.

    New option: --PackageBase
3027
        This will pass the path to all packages specified with LinkPkgArchive
3028
        directives to the build.xml file. Without the option the path will
3029
        address a 'jar' directory within the package.
3030
 
3031
    New passed parameter: PACKAGEDIR
3032
        This is the path to the output package that is being created by JATS
3033
        Allows the ant build script to place artifacts directly into the
3034
        package image being created.

    existing packages, until the underlying packages have been rebuilt.
3057
 
3058
    Packages created with the previous version of the compiler should not be
3059
    mixed with packages created with the version in this release.
3060
    Packages will be rebuilt with the new compiler as soon as possible.
3061

    * Reverted changes made in JATS_2.68.1 to the library search path
3094
      Although the search order is broken, we will need to live with it.
3095
 
3096
      Addressed the search order of /usr/lib under Solaris by adding a new
3097
      AddLibDir option (--System) to add system paths. These will be searched
3098
      last.
3099
 
3100
      For the record, the search order for header files and libraries is:
3101
 
3102
        1) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the local makefile.pl
3103
           or within any such directive with the --Local option
3104
 
3105
        2) Within the components 'local' directories. These are populated with
3106
           InstallHdr and InstallLib directives.
3107
 
3108
        3) Within the 'interface' directory as populated by BuildPkgArchive
3109
 
3110
        4) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in the 'global' makefile.pl
3111
           or within any such directive with the --Global option
3112
 
3113
        5) Within packages specified by a LinkPkgArchive directive
3114
 
3115
 
3116
        6) As specified with AddIncDir/AddLibDir in any makefile.pl
3117

      dependent packages.
3131
 
3132
    * RunTest operation

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3141
Major changes:
3142
    * Trap use of uncontrolled versions of 'ant' and the Java Compiler (javac)
3143
 
3144
      It was discovered that a few old makefile.pl's where invoking ant and
3145
      javac directly in order to build small Java components. This was
3146
      normally being done in the guise of the WIN32 target. These packages
3147
      were making assumptions about the version of Java on the users search
3148
      path.
3149
 
3150
      JATS can invoke ANT and build Java based components using the MakeAnt
3151
      directive and the JAVA platform. This method is controlled and
3152
      reproducible.
3153
 
3154
      This release provides changes such that these packages will not build.
3155
      This is better than building incorrectly.
3156
 
3157
      There are several aspects to the change
3158
        1) JATS provides binaries (ant and javac) with an error message. If
3159
           the user invoked ant/javac in a manner that involves searching the
3160
           PATH then these will be used and report an error.
3161
 
3162
       2) A special command (jats abt) can be used to start up the Auto Build
3163
          Tool in a manner that does not alter the PATH seen by the utilities.
3164
          Moreover it does not alter the JAVA_HOME seen by the build. This is
3165
          controlled separately.
3166
 
3167
Minor changes:
3168
    * Sanitize the PATH environment variable
3169
        Ensure the JATS bin directory is the first directory searched
3170
        Remove duplicates
3171
        Place non-existent components at the end of the PATH
3172

Version: JATS_2.67.1                                Released: 17-Aug-07
3175
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3176
Major changes:
3177
 
3178
Minor changes:
3179
    * Makefile sanity test
3180
      Added a test to ensure that makefiles created on a machine of one type are
3181
      not then run on a machine of a different type.
3182
 
3183
      This will prevent files created on solaris-sparc being used on a solaris-
3184
      x86 machine.
3185
 
3186
    * Correct bug in RunTest
3187
      RunTest now extends the PATH to include the local bin directory
3188
 
3189
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3190
Version: JATS_2.67.0                                Released: 13-Aug-07
3191
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3192
Major changes:
3193
    * RunTest directive
3194
      Added support for running tests within the NUNIT test framework for the
3195
      CSHARP target. In the process a generalized mechanism for accessing
3196
      toolset specific test frameworks has been added.
3197
 
3198
      Changes to the directive to support a FrameWork.
3199
        The use of a test FrameWork is signaled with the option
3200
        --FrameWork=<name> If this is present then the raw name of the program
3201
        under test will be passed to the framework. program.
3202
 
3203
        If a FrameWork is in use, then JATS will invoke the specified framework
3204
        builder within the current toolset.
3205
 
3206
      When a framework is in place JATS will pass arguments of the form:
3207
        '--Tag=Text' to the FrameWork. Other options are processed as normal.
3208
 
3209
      With in the Nunit FrameWork the program under test will be a DLL Nunit
3210
      will only operate on a DLL. The DLL must have been created by the makefile
3211
      containing the RunTest directive.
3212
 
3213
      The Nunit Framework supports the following options:
3214
        --Uses=<Name>[,SubOption]+
3215
 
3216
        This option specifies other DLLs that are used by the TestDLL. They will
3217
        be copied in to the test directory, and may be sourced from an external
3218
        package or the components 'local' lib directory.
3219
 
3220
        SubOptions available to The --Uses directive are:
3221
            --NonJats       This is not a JATS built library. It will not have a
3222
                            P or D suffix.
3223
            --Jats          (Default) This is a JATS built library. JATS will
3224
                            select the correct library type for this build.
3225
 
3226
Minor changes:
3227
    * New Cache cleanup mechanism
3228
      When a package is consumed from the 'cache' a flag is updated within
3229
      the cache. The cache aging routines use this file in preference to
3230
      the descpkg file, thus it will prevent the aging of packages that are
3231
      frequently used. The aging policy can be made more aggressive.
3232
 
3233
    * Save Build Utility
3234
      This utility is used by the Auto Build System to save the 'build.pl' file
3235
      used in a ripple build.
3236
 
3237
      The utility has been enhanced to detect  a reserved checkout of the
3238
      build.pl. The checkout will be changed to unreserved - if possible.
3239
 
3240
    * Release Utility
3241
      The 'jats release' command will now unlock any labels that it locked
3242
      when an error is encountered.
3243
 
3244
      This simplifies the 'release' process as the developers label will be
3245
      unlocked if a build error occurs.
3246
 
3247
    * Jats caching local copy of itself
3248
      Fixed a bug which resulted in an "Use of individualized value" message
3249
      being displayed a large number of times during the file transfer process.
3250
 
3251
    * Minor extension to allow plug-in directives to perform a processing step
3252
      before the makefiles are created.
3253
 
3254
    * TestProg directive
3255
      TestProg's are now built in exactly the same manner as Progs
3256
 
3257
    * Correct problem introduced in 2.66.1 with packaging of files with
3258
      a 'space' or '$' in the file name.
3259

3262
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3263
Major changes:
3264
    * New build target
3265
            LINUX_ETX           - Support for Linux on an ETX board
3266
            LMOS_LINUX_ETX      - Support for LMOS on the LINUX_ETX target
3267
 
3268
      These targets have also been added to the following pseudo targets.
3269
            DEVLINUX
3270
            LMOS_DEVLINUX
3271
 
3272
    * Internal utility dpkg_cache [Windows]
3273
      Modified to remove use of system utilities to perform the the file
3274
      transfer, after having problems the 'cp.exe' provided by JATS.
3275
 
3276
Minor changes:
3277
    * Added utility class to provide directory searching
3278
      To be used in JATS and JATS support tools
3279
 
3280
    * tweaks to the C# toolset
3281
      Correct problem with filename that start with "n" as in .\not_nice.cs
3282
 
3283
      Create resource files with Fully Qualified Names derived from the .resx
3284
      and .cs files.
3285
 
3286
      Handle Strong Key Names and creates wrappers to provide do the right
3287
      thing.
3288
 
3289
    * Microtec ColdFire compiler
3290
      Further attempts to get the compiler to place all of its temp files in a
3291
      local directory. The compiler uses a large number of EnVars to control
3292
      were it places temp files.
3293
 
3294
      Underlying problem is random compiler failures on big builds. Suspected
3295
      interaction with other builds.
3296
 
3297
    * Release utility command
3298
      Added a -tag=name option to allow the Auto Build Tools to create
3299
      multiple instances of a static view. The tag is used to provide a unique
3300
      component in the clearcase tag name.

    Natively build C# within JATS using the Microsoft command line programs
3308
 
3309
    Supports the handling of .resx files
3310
 
3311
    Supports the creation of windows programs, console programs and shared
3312
    libraries
3313
 
3314
Minor changes:
3315
  * Unit Tests
3316
    Allow test scripts to be PERL - with a .pl extension
3317
    These will be correctly initiated under WIndows and Unix
3318
 
3319
    Correct warning messsage that is generated if a "CopyIn" file is also listed

  * WINCE Support
3352
    Added WCEPSION_500 support. The WINCE target now includes this target.
3353
 
3354
  * Removed the following targets
3355
        TP5600
3356
        TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3357
        TP5600_EMU
3358
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3359
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3360
 
3361
  * Deployment
3362
    Simplify access to build information during deployment
3363
 
3364
  * build.pl
3365
    Better error check on a packages version number.
3366
 
3367
    The --forcebuildpkg has been extended to copy files on a Unix system, rather
3368
    than to use symlinks. This simplifies remote builds.
3369
 
3370
  * Tool: gen_msprojects
3371
    Has been extended to create either a Debug build (default), or a Production
3372
    build.
3373
 
3374
        Eg: jats etool gen_msprojects -prod
3375
 
3376
  * Tool: escrow
3377
     New features
3378
     Given an rtag_id, report determine packages that are in the 'release' but
3379
     are not in the SBOM.
3380
 
3381
     Prune "patch" package versions.
3382
 
3383
     Specify packages to be ignored.

3387
Version: JATS_2.65.1                                Released: 30-May-07
3388
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3389
Major changes:
3390
  * Provided a mechanism by which JATS makefile.pl directives can be extended
3391
    through modules provided by external packages. This will be used to reduce
3392
    the dependancy on JATS of various packaging processes.
3393
 
3394
  * GenerateFiles
3395
    Added the options:
3396
        --UnknownPreq           - Will force the recipe to be run every time
3397
                                  the generated files are required. May be used
3398
                                  when the dependancies are too complex to
3399
                                  describe. ie: Entire directory tree.
3400
 
3401
        --AutoGenerate          - Will not force the recipe to be run during the
3402
                                  'generate' phase, unless the recipe generates
3403
                                  source files. Allows recipes to be run very
3404
                                  late. ie: when the dependent files are actually
3405
                                  required.
3406
 
3407
 
3408
Minor changes:
3409
  * GenerateFile directive
3410
    Added --Var(BuildRoot)
3411
 
3412
  * GCC Toolset
3413
    Creating Shared Libaries with a 'Def' file. The library is now dependent
3414
    on the Def file, such that changes to the Def file will cause the library to
3415
    be rebuilt.
3416
 
3417
  * MakeAnt and MakeProject directives
3418
    Preserve the order in which projects are built.
3419
 
3420
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3421
Version: JATS_2.65.0                                Released: 16-May-07
3422
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3423
Major changes:
3424
 *  Access to Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases
3425
    The database location, user and password have been made configurable via
3426
    environment variables.
3427
 
3428
    Reason: The Release Manager and Deployment Manager databases are being
3429
            moved.
3430
 
3431
    This will affect users that:
3432
        1) Use tools that access RM or DM
3433
           Some tools that build deployable packages
3434
 
3435
        2) Use the ABT system
3436
           The buildadm user, and the ABT scripts will be modified to provide
3437
           the required configuration
3438
 
3439
    If you need to use tools that access RM or DM, outside of the ABT scripts on
3440
    the build machine then you will need to add the following environment
3441
    definitions to your .profile_bash, or jats.bat.
3442
    Windows
3443
        set GBE_RM_LOCATION=jdbc:oracle:thin:@auperaora03:1521:RELEASEM
3444
        set GBE_RM_USERNAME=RELEASE_MANAGER
3445
        set GBE_RM_PASSWORD=RELEASE_MANAGER
3446
        set GBE_RM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Release_Manager
3447
        set GBE_DM_LOCATION=%GBE_DM_LOCATION%
3448
        set GBE_DM_USERNAME=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3449
        set GBE_DM_PASSWORD=DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER
3450
        set GBE_DM_URL=http://erg:8002/ManagerSuite/Deployment_Manager
3451
    Note: GBE_RM_LOCATION will change in the near future.
3452
 
3453
 
3454
  * New build platforms
3455
        ARM9TDMI            - To replace TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3456
        LINUX_EMU           - To replace TP5600_EMU
3457
 
3458
        LMOS_ARM9TDMI       - To replace LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3459
        LMOS_LINUX_EMU      - To replace LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3460
 
3461
        DEVLINUX            - To replace TP5600
3462
        LMOS_DEVLINUX       - To replace LMOS_TP5600
3463
        LMOS                - New platform that expands to known LMOS targets:
3464
                              LMOS_ARM9TDMI, LMOS_LINUX_EMU, LMOS_WIN32
3465
 
3466
    Many of these targets are designed to replace the badly named platforms
3467
    of TP5600_ARM9TDMI and TP5600_EMU. These will be removed in a future
3468
    release.
3469
 
3470
    The GBE_BUILDFILTER for linux boxes may need to be changed to
3471
         LINUX_I386 ARM9TDMI LINUX_EMU LMOS_ARM9TDMI LMOS_LINUX_EMU
3472
 
3473
    The TP5600* targets should be removed to make it obvious that these packages
3474
    need to be converted.
3475
 
3476
  * Building Linux Device Drivers
3477
    The hard-coded path to the Kernel Headers has been removed.
3478
    Linux Drivers must be built with a suitable package to provide
3479
    the kernel headers. This allows multiple versions of the linux kernel to be
3480
    used for different targets platforms.
3481
 
3482
  * Sandbox support
3483
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3484
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented.
3485
 
3486
    New command: jats sandbox ...

3493
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3494
Major changes:
3495
  * MakeAnt directive
3496
    Added options to allow the and project to unit tests.
3497
 
3498
    New options
3499
        --AutoTest=<target>            # Run as Automated unit test
3500
        --UnitTest=<target>            # Run as Unit test
3501
 
3502
    This will invoke the ant build file, with the specified target, during the
3503
    run_unit_tests phase.
3504
 
3505
  * Sandbox support
3506
    Embryonic support for building multiple packages in a common sandbox
3507
    Will remain undocumented until fully implemented
3508
 
3509
Minor changes:
3510
  * jats build
3511
    Use platform configuration information to prune platforms from the list of
3512
    platforms that will be 'built'.
3513
 
3514
    This simplies the construction of a GBE_BUILDFILTER
3515
 
3516
    This information is not available for all supported platforms, but is
3517
    available for psuedo platforms that transform into machine specific
3518
    platforms. These include SOLARIS, LINUX, TP5600 and LMOS_TP5600
3519
 
3520
  * AVR_IAR Toolset
3521
    Clean up 9 files that may be created by the USB license dongle.
3522
 
3523
  * JATS.BAT
3524
    Example file now provides a default GBE_DPKG definition that assumes that
3525
    the "V" drive is mapped to \\auperaunx26\devl. This allows access to both
3526
    the dpkg_acrhive and the deploy_archive with the one mapping.
3527
 
3528
  * jats label
3529
    Correct problem when locking a label in a specified VOB
3530
 
3531
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3532
Version: JATS_2.64.0                                Released: 16-Apr-07
3533
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3534
Major changes:
3535
  * New build platform:
3536
        LMOS_TP5600
3537
        LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI
3538
        LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3539
 
3540
    LMOS_TP5600 is a tag that will be expanded to the entire family of LMOS_TP5600
3541
    supported targets. A common alias of LMOS_T5600 will be created to
3542
    describe the group of platforms.
3543
 
3544
    LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI and LMOS_TP5600_EMU
3545
    These are LMOS based targets. The 'lmos' package must be used in order to
3546
    build these targets.
3547
 
3548
    The LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI can use components from the TP5600_ARM9TDMI,
3549
    where no LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI components are provided.
3550
 
3551
    The LMOS_TP5600_EMU can use components from the TP5600_EMU,
3552
    where no LMOS_TP5600_EMU components are provided.
3553
 
3554
  * New build platform: WINCE
3555
    This is a tag that will be expanded to all the known WINCE targets.
3556
    Use of this platform will simplify the creation of components for
3557
    consumption on all WINCE machines.
3558
 
3559
    The current list of WINCE targets is:
3560
            WCEIT3000
3561
            WCEPA961
3562
            WCEPA962
3563
            WCEPCM7220
3564
            WCEPSION_420
3565
            WCEPSPC_arm
3566
            WCEPSPC_emu
3567
            WCEX86A420
3568
            WCEX86A500
3569
            WCEX86A500_SOM4455
3570
 
3571
    The WINCE targets actually built will be affected by GBE_BUILDFILTER.
3572
 
3573
 *  JATS makefile.pl
3574
    The package descriptor file, 'descpkg', will be packaged in all makefiles
3575
    that contain packaging directives.
3576
 
3577
    There is now no need to explicitly package the 'descpkg' file, except in
3578
    very unusual configurations.
3579
 
3580
Minor changes:
3581
  * Directive: PackageFile
3582
    Generate a warning if the source file name does not confirm to good naming
3583
    conventions. The filename must not start with a '-' and must not contain
3584
    an '='.
3585
 
3586
    Normally the result of an error in the directive. ie: "-Subdir=etc", instead
3587
    of "--Subdir=etc".
3588
 
3589
  * JATS Internal utility: cmdfile
3590
    Updated Linux and Solaris targets with a version of the cmdfile that
3591
    provides a better error message for libraries that cannot be found.
3592
 
3593
    This version will display the library search path with one item per line,
3594
    rather than all items on one, very long, line.
3595
 
3596
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3597
Version: JATS_2.63.0                                Released: 5-Apr-07
3598
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3599
Major changes:
3600
 
3601
  * JATS release command
3602
    Modified the configuration spec generated when a branching rule is
3603
    specified. The change will ensure that directories are not branched.
3604
 
3605
    Rules are:
3606
        Modify a file:      File will branch
3607
        Adding a file:      Containing directory will not branch
3608
                            File will be placed on a branch
3609
        Add a directory:    Containing directory will not branch
3610
                            New directory will branch
3611
 
3612
Minor changes:
3613
  * JATS release command
3614
    Added -noprefex option to allow the creation of a view directory without the
3615
    user name being prefixed to it. This is useful in creating an escrow view.
3616
 
3617
  * JATS label command
3618
    Detect and report parent directories that are checkedout when a label
3619
    is applied. Previously these had gone unreported.
3620
 
3621
  * JATS make
3622
    Undo previous change to preserve symbolic links while Packaging and
3623
    Installing files. A problem was encountered when a file from a package
3624
    was re-packaged.
3625
 
3626
  * JATS escrow
3627
    Added a tool to generate information for creating an escrow drop.
3628
    Use jats escrow -help for details
3629
 
3630
  * makefile.pl directive: MakeAnt
3631
    This directive will create parameters to specify the location of external java
3632
    packages that have been referenced via a LinkPkgArchive directive.
3633
 
3634
    This allows the build.xml to contruct a CLASSPATH to access JAR files in
3635
    packages, without the overhead of copying the entire package into the
3636
    interface directory.
3637
 
3638
  * build.pl directive: BuildPkgArchive
3639
    Modified the processing of 'jar' directories.
3640
    Directories of the form 'jar.<target>' will be transferred into the 'jar'
3641
    directory as seen by the package.
3642
 
3643
    Intended use: Deployment of oraclient for Solaris 10
3644
 
3645
  * JAVA 6
3646
    JATS now supports all versions of Java through the use of JAVA_HOME_X_Y
3647
    environment variables. Where X andY specify the version of JAVA.
3648
 
3649
    The jats.bat and jats.sh example files only provide indication of 1.4, 1.5
3650
    and 1.6 support, but all versions are now supported.
3651
 
3652
    The "jats vars -v" command will display all JAVA_HOME environment variables
3653
 
3654
  * Jats command: vars
3655
    Extended to show a "*" for EnvVars that do not address a valid directory
3656
    These indicate potential problems.
3657
 
3658
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3659
Version: JATS_2.62.4                                Released: 20-Mar-07
3660
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3661
Major changes:
3662
  * JATS create_dpkg + packageing shared libraries (Unix)
3663
    When a shared library is created a simple symbolic link to the versioned
3664
    libarry is also created.
3665
 
3666
    Previous versions of JATS would replace the symbolic link with a physical
3667
    copy of the file. The effect of this is that when the shared libaries is
3668
    'Installed', 'Packaged' and transferred into dpkg_archive there are two
3669
    files, instead of one file and one link to the file (in the same directory)
3670
    The Solaris shared libraries can be quite large, due to the debug
3671
    information contained within the file.
3672
 
3673
    This version of JATS will preserve symbolic links when 'Installing',
3674
    'Packaging' and transferring to dpkg_archive.
3675
 
3676
    The advantage of this will be significant reduction in disk space used
3677
    within the build environment and dpkg_archive.
3678
 
3679
  * Building Perl Modules
3680
    Modified the process to prevent the module builder attempting to modify the
3681
    documentation on the build machine.
3682
 
3683
    Integrated the 'jats clean' operation.
3684
 
3685
Minor changes:
3686
  * jats create_dpkg
3687
    Added an option to create a built.generic file
3688
    This is only used by the Automated Built Tools.
3689
 
3690
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3691
Version: JATS_2.62.3                                Released: 28-Feb-07
3692
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3693
Major changes:
3694
  * JATS JAVA build target
3695
    The default behaviour of the JAVA build target has changed such that the
3696
    default version of JAVA used will be 1.4.
3697
 
3698
    Previous behaviour was to use whichever version was specified by the EnvVar
3699
    JAVA_HOME. This was not controlled, thus the build was not controlled.
3700
    Problems occur when using the new AutoBuildTool as it uses Java 1.5 and this
3701
    is then picked up as the default version.
3702
 
3703
    If a version, other than 1.4, is required then specify it within the
3704
    build.pl file.
3705
 
3706
Minor changes:
3707
  * jats release
3708
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' command can be found in the users PATH
3709
    Issue an error if it cannot be found.
3710
    This error indicates bad DevEnv setup
3711
 
3712
    Added facility to create a view based on a config_spec, instead of a label.
3713
    Such a view cannot be used to create a release. It is intended to simplify
3714
    the creation of simple static views. The name of view is, by default,
3715
    based on the name of the config spec. Use the -view=name option to change
3716
    the name of the view.
3717
 
3718
  * GenerateFiles directive
3719
    Added new --Vars() to allow packaging of JATS plugin tools.
3720
 
3721
  * MOS Toolset
3722
    When using MOS fast intermodule calls the optimizer will preload commonly
3723
    used memory addresses into a register BEFORE the GDP has been correctly set
3724
    up. Use the following option to suppress this optimization
3725
 
3726
    Added: CompileOptions ('*', 'NoGlobalOptimization' );
3727
 
3728
 
3729
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3730
Version: JATS_2.62.2                                Released: 15-Feb-07
3731
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3732
Major changes:
3733
 
3734
Minor changes:
3735
  * JATS environment
3736
    Ensure that the true path of the Perl executable is present in the PATH
3737
    environment variable. This allows build tool access to various perl utilities
3738
    that are located in the Perl bin directory.
3739
 
3740
    Resolves issues in locating utilities such as pod2html
3741
 
3742
  * Use of GENERIC platforms
3743
    Report an error if a GENERIC platform is mixed with any other platform
3744
    specifier. GENERIC is used for packages that build on all machines because
3745
    they do not use a compiler or linker. They simply contains files that need
3746
    to be packaged.
3747
 
3748
  * Generated makefiles
3749
    Solaris and Linux: Ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported if it is used.
3750
 
3751
  * Generating MOS THX files
3752
    Added option --BinaryImage to the SharedLib directive used to create MOS THX
3753
    files. This option will create a binary image (.bin) instead of a .thx file.
3754
    This is being used in the creation of BR Applets.
3755
 
3756
        SharedLib   ( 'MOS', "xxx", @OBJS, "--Rel=xxx.rel", "--BinaryImage" );
3757
 
3758
  * JATS release
3759
    Correct the operation of the -path option under Unix
3760
 
3761
  * JATS extract
3762
    New JATS command. This is the same as 'jats release -extract'
3763
 
3764
  * JATS Toolset
3765
    Added support for the WinCe PSION (WCEPSION_420)
3766
    This is a armv4i device using 4.20 of the WCE SDK    
3767
 
3768
 
3769
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3770
Version: JATS_2.62.1                                Released: 18-Jan-07
3771
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3772
Major changes:
3773
 
3774
Minor changes:
3775
  * jats label
3776
    Added a -vob=name option
3777
    This allwos the label utility to create, lock, unlock, rename and delete
3778
    labels without the user actually being located within the VOB. This option
3779
    cannot be used in conjunction with operations that place labels on files.
3780
    It can only be used for operations that manipulate the label.
3781
 
3782
    Added a -user=name option
3783
    This extends the operation of the -mine operation to change ownership of the
3784
    label to the named user.
3785
 
3786
  * jats release
3787
    Displays the path to the view and the build file in a user friendly manner
3788
    Under Windows it uses \, unless running under cygwin.
3789
 
3790
  * JATS build.pl
3791
    BuildProduct supports the --Uses=xxxx construct on a per-target basis.
3792
    ie:
3793
        BuildProduct ('TP5', 'LMOS_TP5600_EMU', 'LMOS_TP5600_ARM9TDMI,--Uses=TP5600_ARM9TDMI');
3794

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3797
Version: JATS_2.62.0                                Released: 22-Dec-06
3798
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3799
Major changes:
3800
  * GenerateFiles and RunTest directives
3801
    These directives have been extended to allow a large number of makefile
3802
    values to be added to the command lines,without resorting to knowledge of
3803
    the makefile internals. ie:
3804
        --Var(BuildName)
3805
    will be expanded to (hen building MyPackage)
3806
        -BuildName=MyPackage
3807
 
3808
    The complete list of Variables is provided in the JATS manual.
3809
 
3810
  * GenerateFiles
3811
    Added a --Clean option to allow tools to be invoked in the 'clean' phase
3812
    This allows external scripts to cleanup.
3813
 
3814
  * BuildPlatforms
3815
    Restored operation of the --Uses option
3816
 
3817
Minor changes:
3818
  * GCC Toolset
3819
    Exports path to compiler. Used by scripts to build packages
3820
 
3821
Internal changes:
3822
  * GenerateFiles
3823
    Maintains the arguments in an array for simpler processing.
3824
 
3825
    --Shell is now processed by the 'make' shell rather then invoking an
3826
    external shell. It will be the same shell, just easier to setup.
3827
 
3828
 
3829
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3830
Version: JATS_2.61.3                                Released: 14-Dec-06
3831
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3832
Major changes:
3833
  * Caching JATS
3834
    Added a mechanism whereby JATS can cache a copy of itself on the users local
3835
    drive. This is applicable to windows.
3836
 
3837
    This mechanism will allow a user to address JATS via the soft-links in
3838
    dpkg_archive and pick up the current version of JATS without the penalty of
3839
    then using JATS across a slow(network) link.
3840
 
3841
    The EnvVar GBE_CACHE_JATS controls the operation of this feature.
3842
    Set GBE_CACHE_JATS to one to enable the operation, but it will only be
3843
    effective if JATS is being run from GBE_DPKG in the first place.
3844
 
3845
    Use: Build Machines and Windows Users
3846
 
3847
Minor changes:
3848
  * Build directive: BuildAlias with --Target option
3849
    Corrected a problem when the target name is a expanded platform name (ie:
3850
    TP5600) that prevent correct expansion.
3851
 
3852
  * jats build
3853
    If the user has not configured a cache, then do not attempt to cache
3854
    packages. This will remove an annoying warning message for each package
3855
    processed by the build.
3856
 
3857
  * jats build
3858
    Modified the error messages generated when JATS fails to create the
3859
    makefiles. The previous system would report failures while creating
3860
    makefiles and, at the end of the process, it would generate a large error
3861
    message to indicate the failure. This large message diverted the users
3862
    from reading the other error messages resulting in confusion.
3863
 
3864
  * PackageFile, PackageLib, PackageProg and PackageHdr
3865
    Detect and report as an error use of the --Dir=<Path> option where the
3866
    Path is not specified.
3867
 
3868
    Most instances of this error will be where the option has been mis-used in
3869
    conjunction with a package.pl file, or during transition from using a
3870
    package.pl file. That change is detects errors where the user has specified
3871
        --Dir=$Pinc
3872
    but $Pinc is not defined.
3873
 
3874
  * Purify and Purecov under Windows
3875
    Changes to correct the operation of Rational's tools when used on the
3876
    Windows platform.
3877
 
3878
        - OPTIONS=purecov
3879
            Forces the link operations to generate the relocation table required
3880
            by 'purecov.
3881
 
3882
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
3883
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows
3884
 
3885
        - OPTIONS=purify
3886
            Does not attempt to use purecov in the compiler tool chain
3887
            This is required under Solaris, but not Windows.
3888
            Under WIndows this option does nothing.
3889

3892
Version: JATS_2.61.2                                Released: 27-Nov-06
3893
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3894
Major changes:
3895
  * makefile.pl directive Platform
3896
    This directive has been expanded to allow for the negation operation
3897
    Example:
3898
        Platform ('!MOSCF');
3899
            Process makefile for all targets other than MOSCF
3900
            This is the same as Platform ('*', '!MOSCF');
3901
 
3902
    Excluded platform will be processed after included platforms have
3903
    been determined.
3904
 
3905
Minor changes:
3906
  * Added the ScanList directive.
3907
    This directive allows a list of files within an external package to be
3908
    located at build-time.
3909
 
3910
  * Unix based systems
3911
    If the EnvVar LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined, then a warning would be
3912
    generated by make under some conditions. The warning has been removed.
3913
 
3914
  * MakeLinuxDriver
3915
    Added a --Define=text option to allow "defines" to be passed to the
3916
    driver being built.
3917
 
3918
 
3919
------------------------------------------------------------------------

3922
Major changes:
3923
 
3924
 
3925
Minor changes:
3926
  * jats_rewrite tool
3927
    Handle the BuildPreviousVersion() directive.
3928
    This directive is only used within deployment scripts.
3929
 
3930
  * Internal package: RmPkgInfo
3931
    Extract modified date when extracting package information
3932
 
3933
    Added the function getDependenciesHash() to provide a hash of all the
3934
    dependancy information within a package.
3935
 
3936
    Added NO_WARN option to the classes 'new' method to supress warning
3937
    messages.
3938
 
3939
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3940
Version: JATS_2.61.0                                Released: 13-Nov-06
3941
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3942
Major changes:
3943
  * makefile.pl directives
3944
    Added directive: MakePerlModule to build and package CPAN style Perl Modules.
3945
 
3946
    Added directive: MakeLinuxDriver to build and Linux Device Driver.
3947
 
3948
    GenerateFiles.
3949
        Added option: --NoGenerate to indicate that the directive does
3950
                      not generate any tangible results. The command will
3951
                      be run on every invocation.
3952
 
3953
 
3954
Minor changes:
3955
  * Added the jats version command
3956
    Will only print out the current version of JATS
3957
 
3958
  * GCC Toolset (Used to build Linux)
3959
  Added options to allow the generation of statically linked programs.
3960
  There are two mechanism:
3961
 
3962
  Globally within the makefile.pl, or if applied in the common makefile.pl
3963
  the option can apply to all programs being built.
3964
 
3965
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'StaticProgs' );     - Generate static programs
3966
  CompileOptions ( 'platform', 'No_StaticProgs' );  - Default
3967
 
3968
  Within the Prog directive, the following options will override the global
3969
  default.
3970
    --Static    - Create a statically linked program
3971
    --Shared    - Create a dynamically linked program
3972

------------------------------------------------------------------------
3976
Major changes:
3977
  * SunWorks Toolset
3978
    Better determination of the location of the SunWorks compiler and library
3979
    Does not use an environment variable to locate compiler libraries
3980
    It is based on machine type.
3981
    Uses the absolute path to the compiler  and does not use the user's PATH
3982
 
3983
    Corrects a problem on the Solaris10 installs.
3984
 
3985
Minor changes:
3986

4009
    field separator.
4010
 
4011
  * JATS eprog command
4012
    Can now start java programs encapsulated within JAR files
4013
 
4014
  * Microtec Coldfire compiler
4015
    Force the compiler to create temp files within the interface directory.
4016
    This is an attempt to solve a infrequent problem seen when multiple builds
4017
    are being performed. The 68k compiler already had a similar fix to address a
4018
    similar, but more pronounced, issue.
4019
 
4020
  * Atmel toolset (DEVI-031788)
4021
    New Products: AT90SC7272C and AT90SC3232CS
4022
        The AT90SC3232CS is identical to the existing AT3232
4023
        The AT90SC7272C replaces the (as yet unused) AT72722
4024
 
4025
    Note: Products of AT3232 and AT90SC3232CS cannot be mixed.
4026
          AT3232 is provided for backward compatibility.

4038
 
4039
 
4040
Minor changes:
4041
  * JATS wrapper script
4042
    Added a sanity test to ensure that the JATS machine specific BIN directories
4043
    have been setup. When JATS is installed the PostInstall script must be run
4044
    to setup links to system programs.
4045

4067
        misalign            - Only allowed on sparc platforms
4068
        no_misalign         - Default
4069
 
4070
        multithread         - Default
4071
        no_multithread      - Disable multithread compilation and linking
4072
 
4073
  * SOLARIS toolset: CompileOptions
4074
    Implemented the common CompileOptions
4075
 
4076

4085
 
4086
  * SOLARIS target: New Aliases
4087
    Provided new ALIAS based in the underlying architecture
4088
    Theses are:
4089
        SOLARIS_SPARC
4090
        SOLARIS_AMD
4091
    These may be used to limit operations to only flavor of SOLARIS. eg: The
4092
    utility 'rtc_patch_area' is only usable on sparc machines.
4093
 
4094
Minor changes:
4095
  * AT3232 toolset

Major changes:
4106
 
4107
Minor changes:
4108
  * Utility InstallPkg as used by BuildPkgArchive()
4109
    Better dection of directories that have been processed to reduce warning
4110
    messages
4111
 
4112
  * PackageFile and PackageProg directives
4113
    The --Machine and --Tool options have been modified to allow the JATS tools
4114
    to be created in a directory that is related to GBE_MACHTYPE on which the
4115
    tool is created, rather then the target platform type.
4116
 
4117
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4118
Version: JATS_2.56.2                                Released: 28-Aug-06 
4119
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4120
Major changes:
4121
 
4122
Minor changes:
4123
  * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
4124
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4125
    library without creating the body of the library:
4126
        eg: SharedLib ( 'WIN', 'MyStub' , '--Def=windef.def','--MutualDll','--Stubonly' );
4127
 
4128
 
4129
  * MOS toolsets
4130
    SharedLib operation. Added an option to allow the creation of a 'stub'
4131
    library without creating the body of the library:
4132
        eg: SharedLib ( 'MOS', 'MyStub' , '--Rel=lib.rel' , '--Implib=lib_stub','--Stubonly' );
4133
 
4134
  * JATS BIN directories
4135
    Added the program 'gmake' as a soft link.
4136
    gmake is required by some COTS packages that are being built from source
4137
    using autoconf.
4138
 
4139
  * Generate directive
4140
    The shared library search path is extended to allow the tools to locate
4141
    all shared libraies (.dll/.so) in packages and the local area.
4142
 
4143
    Simplifies the use of Xerces during the build process.
4144
 
4145

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4147
Version: JATS_2.56.1                                Released: 23-Aug-06
4148
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4149
Major changes:
4150
  * Support for SOLARIS10_X86 and SOLARIS10_X64
4151
    Initial release.
4152
 
4153
Minor changes:
4154

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4157
Version: JATS_2.56.0                                Released: 18-Aug-06
4158
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4159
Major changes:
4160
  * Support for SOLARIS10_sparc32 and SOLARIS10_sparc64
4161
    Initial release.
4162
 
4163
  * Packaging directives
4164
    Added option --OsCommon to allow files and header files to be packed into
4165
    a directory known to all platforms being built for a common OS.
4166
 
4167
    Currently this is only supported to target platforms based on
4168
        SOLARIS
4169
        WIN32
4170
 
4171
  * Removal of support for badly formed packages
4172
    As of this release libraries that exist in the <packagename>/lib directory
4173
    will not be available to JATS. These libraries are in the incorrect
4174
    directory. They MUST be in a directory that indicates the intended purpose
4175
    of the library. A .so library cannot be used on all machines ( linux,
4176
    solaris-sparc, solaris-amd ... ).
4177
 
4178
  * Build Platform target name expansion facility
4179
    The build targets of SOLARIS and LINUX are seen as expandable names. They
4180
    will be expanded to suitable targets - depending on the host machine .
4181
 
4182
 
4183
Minor changes:
4184
  * Utility: JATS LABEL
4185
    Ensure that the 'cleartool' utility can be found in the users path.
4186
    Generate a suitable error message if it cannot be found.
4187
 
4188
  * Utility: JATS RELEASE
4189
    Added a -root=dirname to allow the user to place the created view at a given
4190
    location
4191
 
4192
    Added GBE_VIEWBASE to provide a globally configured mechanism for
4193
    controlling the view location. Performs the same job as -root=xxxx
4194
 
4195
  * Utility genrc
4196
    Added the company name to the copyright string
4197
 
4198
  * Utility: jats_save_build
4199
    Added option: -new
4200
    This option forces the saved file only a new branch.
4201
    The option can be used to save a build.pl file onto a new project-specific
4202
    branch. Useful when branching an entire release.
4203
 
4204
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4205
    Added options to allow project suffixes to be replaced.
4206
    Use: Convert a .syd project to a .bej project.
4207
 
4208
 * Deprecated features: package.pl and tree.dir
4209
   These two build features are being deprecated. They are not suitable for
4210
   migration to other SOLARIS based platforms.
4211
 
4212
   The Package directives provide sufficient power to replace the package.pl
4213
   features - in a uniform manner.
4214
 
4215
 
4216
Internal Changes:
4217
  * Major rework of the JATS BuildPlatform, BuildAlias an BuildProducts
4218
    directives, together with the mechanism used to describe the platform builds.
4219
 
4220
    Introduced a CFG/<PLATFORM>.CFG file to provide:
4221
        1) Platform information available at build time
4222
        2) Dynamic platform names
4223
 
4224
  * Major rework of the 'SOLARIS' platform
4225
    The SOLARIS platform will generate one or more targets, depending on the
4226
    machine on which the platform is invoked.
4227
 
4228
    Consolidated a number of SOLARIS specific kludges and converted them into
4229
    configurable items. These kludges are really on applicable to the
4230
    SOLARIS8_SPARC32 platform. New SOLARIS builds will be well formed.
4231
 
4232
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4233
    Formalized a number of kludges in operation of the SOLARIS8 under sparc32
4234
    platform. These are configured early in the build process and are no longer
4235
    needed.
4236
 
4237
    A side effect of this work is that files from external packages may be
4238
    located in 'SOLARIS', 'SOLARIS_sparc' or 'sparc' directories. The change
4239
    should be transparent as the consumer tools should be able to handle
4240
    files from all of these.
4241
 
4242
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4243
Version: JATS_2.55.1                                Released: 17-Aug-06

4245
Major changes:
4246
 
4247
Minor changes:
4248
  * WinCE toolset
4249
    Added support for the adv_som_4455_wlan
4250
 
4251
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4252
Version: JATS_2.55.0                                Released: 3-Aug-06
4253
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4254
Major changes:
4255
  * Jats wrapper: Specify version of JATS to be used
4256
    Added a -version=xxxx option to force JATS to use a specific version of
4257
    JATS. The same operation can be achieved by setting GBE_JATS_VERSION.
4258
 
4259
    The required version MUST be found in one of the known archives.
4260
 
4261
    JATS will attempt to cache the version of JATS to assist in speeding up
4262
    the operations.
4263
 
4264
    The version option MUST be the first option.
4265
 
4266
    The version option MUST be followed by a '--' option.
4267
    This prevents JATS parsing other options and recursion issues.
4268
 
4269
    Example:    jats -version=2.54.3.cr -- build
4270
 
4271
  * Migrated the "jats install" functionality out of the jats wrapper script
4272
    and into the create_dpkg utility. This is transparent to the user.
4273
 
4274
  * Utility: create_dpkg
4275
    Added a '-quiet' option to allow use within scripts
4276
    Extended the built-in help
4277
    Added useful error messages
4278
    Migrate code to a common error reporting mechanism
4279
 
4280
  * WinCE toolset
4281
    Added support for the WCEPA962 target.
4282
 
4283
  * M16 toolset as used in building MCRFirmware
4284
    Added a --MotOnly option to the Prog directives. MOT files 
4285
    are used in the creation of bootstraps.
4286
 
4287
Minor changes:
4288
  * JATS wrapper script
4289
    Added a -ABT=xxx option to allow the Auto Build Tool to be invoked from
4290
    the command line.
4291
 
4292
  * Utility: jats_rewrite
4293
    Modified so that it will display changes. These will then be present in the
4294
    ABT log so that a developer can see which packages have been rippled.    
4295
 
4296
Internal Changes:
4297
  * Common Error Reporting
4298
    Will use environment variables to control DEBUG and VERBOSE levels
4299
    for individual users. A module reporting with a name of XXXX will use EnvVars
4300
    of GBE_XXXX_VERBOSE and GBE_XXXX_DEBUG to control the debug and VERBOSE
4301
    level.
4302
 
4303
    Force flushing after a "Question" is asked to ensure that the prompt is
4304
    displayed.
4305
 
4306
    Enable autoflush for both STDOUT and STDERR.
4307
 
4308
  * Added JatsSystem module
4309
    Common code for accessing system commands        
4310
------------------------------------------------------------------------

4315
Minor changes:
4316
  * BR Compiler toolset
4317
    Add the include file search path to the link command line. Allows
4318
    .def files to include other files.
4319
 
4320
  * IAR toolset
4321
    Added AT7272 support
4322
 
4323
  * Tool: jats_manifest
4324
    Added links to a suitable md5sum program on target platforms
4325
 
4326
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4327
Version: JATS_2.54.2                                Released: 12-Jul-06

4330
 
4331
Minor changes:
4332
  * BR Compiler toolset
4333
    Corrected a problem in flagging that the non-version-1 compiler was in
4334
    use.
4335
 
4336
 
4337
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4338
Version: JATS_2.54.1                                Released: 29-Jun-06
4339
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4340
Major changes:
4341
 
4342
Minor changes:
4343
  * Mictotec toolset
4344
    Assembler files. Define DEBUG in debug builds and NDEBUG in production
4345
    builds.
4346
 
4347
  * JATS Core
4348
    Added GBE_ABT. This is used by the Auto Build Tool to indicate that an
4349
    auto build is in progress. It may be used by various tools to modify their
4350
    behaviour.
4351
 
4352
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4353
Version: JATS_2.54.0                                Released: 22-Jun-06
4354
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4355
Major changes:
4356
  * Removal of non-core deployment functionality from JATS.
4357
    Deployment package will be affected.
4358
 
4359
    The build.pl file of deployment package will need to import deployment
4360
    support with a BuildPkgArchive directive. ie:
4361
 
4362
        BuildPkgArchive ( 'deployfiles', '1.0.0.cr' );
4363
 
4364
    This version of deployfiles contains the same functionality as that provided
4365
    by the previous version of JATS. Version 2 of this package will be the start
4366
    of a deployment system that will provide support for building InstallShield
4367
    packages.
4368
 
4369
 * Deployment support utilities must be run under JATS
4370
   The environment required for the deployment support utilities is complex
4371
   and is provided by the JATS wrapper script.
4372
 
4373
   This is a change in usage. Instead of running the program 'updatenodespec'
4374
   the user will need to run 'jats updatenodespec'
4375
 
4376
Minor changes:
4377
  * SubDir directive
4378
    Added a sanity test to detect the case when a 'SubDir' directive specifies
4379
    a directory from two different makefiles.
4380
 
4381
  * Tools: Dependancy generator mkdepend
4382
    If an include file was referenced by a symbolic name, then the generated
4383
    dependancy information would be wrong for all but the first occurrence
4384
    of the file usage.
4385
 
4386
  * New utility: jats_manifest
4387
    Used by the build system to generate and validate source files.
4388
    Beta Release: Windows only at the moment
4389
 
4390
  * Unit tests under SOLARIS_sparc
4391
    The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been modified to correctly pick up libraries
4392
    generated within the build and have been installed locally.
4393
 
4394
  * Default behaviour of JATS the wrapper script
4395
    This has been changed. Previous unknown commands were passed to make.
4396
    In this release unknown comamnds will be treated a 'etool' commands and 
4397
    will execute a JATS extended command.
4398
 
4399
 
4400
Internal Changes:
4401
  * Code refactor
4402
    Created JatsEnv to encapsulate functionality that was multiply defined.
4403
 
4404
  * Deployment utilities
4405
    The Perl module Ignorelist.pm and the .ccignore file
4406
    Changed the mechanism by which this module locates a .ccignore file.
4407
    The .ccignore file has been moved to the same directory as the module and
4408
    the module can locate the file.
4409
 
4410
    Previously the module required an environment variable in order to locate
4411
    the file, which was in a fixed location anyway.
4412
 
4413
  * JATS core
4414
    Removed the use of the environment variable PERLINC.
4415
 
4416
    Better parsing of descpkg files.
4417
 
4418
  * JATS core debugging: JatsError.pm
4419
    Allow control over the debug and verbose messages of specific programs
4420
    through the use of environment variables.
4421
 
4422
    A program reporting errors as "name" can be controlled via environment
4423
    variables GBE_name_VERBOSE and GBE_name_DEBUG.
4424
 
4425
  * BuildPkgArchive operation
4426
    Modified the subdirectories transferred with this directive to include:
4427
        deployfiles     - as used by the deployment system
4428
        tools/scripts   - as used by perl based extensions
4429
 
4430
  * Make environment
4431
    Extended the PERL5LIB path seen by perl programs executed under make to
4432
    include 'tools/script' directories that contain Perl Modules.
4433
 
4434

4436
Version: JATS_2.53.2                                Released: 13-Jun-06
4437
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4438
Major changes:
4439
  * Deployment. GetMassInstId.rul (From George Christidis)
4440
    Added support for SILENT_MODE
4441
 
4442

------------------------------------------------------------------------
4444
Version: JATS_2.53.1                                Released: Not release
4445
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4446
 
4447
Not Released.
4448
This label waas used as a place keeper. This version was not used as a basis
4449
for JATS_2.53.2. Its much closer to JATS_2.54.0.
4450
 
4451
 
4452
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4453
Version: JATS_2.53.0                                Released: 11-Apr-06
4454
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4455
Major changes:
4456
  * Deployment Scripts: Release Manager Database Access
4457
    The mechanism for communicating with the Release Manager Database has been
4458
    radically replaced.
4459
 
4460
    A test tool has been added to prove connectivity to Release Manager.
4461
    Usage:
4462
        jats etool test_rmconnection
4463
 
4464
    The pervious scripts used DBI::ODBC to communicate with the Oracle
4465
    Database that contains Release Manager. There were a number of problems with
4466
    this solution:
4467
         - Required the installation of two Perl Modules
4468
         - Required the installation of an Oracle client
4469
         - Required the use of an ODBC bridge machine when used on Solaris
4470
         - Support for Perl within Oracle appears to be on the decline
4471
 
4472
    The solutions uses a Java application and Java's jdbc. The oracle:thin
4473
    client is used as this does not require any installation or configuration in
4474
    order to work.
4475
 
4476
    JATS overrides Perl's DBI package with a package of the same name, but
4477
    reduced functionality.
4478
 
4479
 
4480
Minor changes:
4481
  * makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4482
    Added a '--' option to disable and enable parsing of options.
4483
    This allows a value with leading '--' to be set.
4484
 
4485
  * makefile.pl directive: SetList
4486
    Added this directive to formalise the creation and processing of lists
4487
    within the makefiles.
4488
        Options:
4489
            --NoWarn                    Disable name clash warnings
4490
            --Project=xxxx[,xxxx]+      Add to list in selected projects
4491
            --Unique                    Add only if not already present
4492
            --Clear                     Clear list, before adding new items
4493
            --Append                    Append items to list (default)
4494
            --                          Disable/Enable option parsing
4495
        Useage:
4496
 
4497
    SetList ('*', 'LibList', 'lib1', 'lib2', '--Project=syd');
4498
    SharedLib ('*', 'MyDLL', @OBJS, @LibList );
4499
 
4500
  * Makefile.pl directive: RunTest
4501
    Corrected the option of the --CopyIn=file option where the specified file
4502
    is not in the current directory.
4503
 
4504
  * Jats Command: ant'
4505
    This command has been extended to make use of the -buildfile=xxxx option
4506
    to allow multiple buildfiles to be differentiated.
4507
 
4508
    eg: jats -buildfile=MyPackage ant
4509
 
4510
  * TOOLSET: DAFBR Compiler support
4511
    Modified the toolset to support an optimisation feature of the next
4512
    generation of the daf_br_compiler. These will be enabled if the major version
4513
    of the package containing the compiler is greater the "1". ie: 2.0.0.cr
4514
 
4515
  * Interface helper files: set_XXXX.bat/.sh
4516
    Added provision to process user command arguments.
4517
    Thus
4518
 
4519
        set_WIN32.bat prog
4520
 
4521
    will set the WIN32 environment and run the command: prog
4522
 
4523
 
4524

4525
Version: JATS_2.52.2                                Released: 30-Mar-06
4526
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4527
Major changes:
4528
 
4529
Minor changes:
4530
  * Addressed issue with BUILDNAME, an internal variable.
4531
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user build.pl's they need to be
4532
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a project
4533
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4534
        $(BUILDNAME) contains two or three space seperated fields - always
4535
 
4536
  * m16c Toolset - MCRFirmware
4537
    Force the generation of .thx and payload files when the .bin files are
4538
    created. Previously this only occured in the packaging phase.
4539
 
4540
Internal changes:
4541
  * JATS toolsets
4542
    Added a feature to allow a toolset to flag additional files that get created
4543
    as a part of a "Prog". This allows a "Prog" definition to generate a
4544
    number of files, some which may be packaged.
4545
 
4546
    Previously such files where only generated during the packaging phase. Now
4547
    they will be generated during the make_prog phase - with the other programs.
4548
 
4549
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4550
Version: JATS_2.52.1                                Released: 29-Mar-06
4551
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4552
Major changes:
4553
  * Jats command: etool
4554
    Extended to allow execution of deployment tools. This allows the deployment
4555
    tools to use the JATS core perl modules.
4556
 
4557
  * Address issues with the use of BUILDVER and ScmBuildVer
4558
    Due to the use of these 'raw' values in user makefile.pl's they need to be
4559
    maintained. Previously the values may or may not have had a projectt
4560
    extension. It was bad. Now:
4561
        $(BUILDVERSION) contains the project extension - always
4562
        $ScmBuildVersion does not contain a project extension - always
4563
 
4564
Minor changes:
4565
 
4566
 
4567
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4568
Version: JATS_2.52.0                                Released: 27-Mar-06
4569
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4570
Major changes:
4571
  * JATS environment variables
4572
    Added GBE_DPKG_STORE
4573
        Optionally addresses a dpkg_archive store. This is intended to allow
4574
        read only access to a remote repository. The GBE_DPKG_STORE will be
4575
        searched after GBE_DPKG. It will be searched last. JATS, be default,
4576
        will not publish packages in this repository.
4577
 
4578
        Uses: Seed repository for a complete build
4579
              Remote repository
4580
 
4581
    Added GBE_DPLY
4582
        Optionally addresses a Deployment Archive. This is only used in the
4583
        placement of deployment packages. This value may be project specific.
4584
 
4585
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4586
    Changes the mechanism used to link against the compiler RTL.
4587
    Previously the RTL was included multiple times in the link order. This
4588
    created problem with daf_dsi as the function 'time()' was being satisfied by
4589
    the RTL before being satisfied by the user libraries.
4590
 
4591
    The compiler RTL is now treated as a library of last resort. It will be
4592
    processed once and it will be processed last.
4593
 
4594
 
4595
Minor changes:
4596
  * JATS utility: build
4597
  * JATS utility: cache_dpkg
4598
    Extended the package search algorithm to locate a package within
4599
    GBE_DPKG_STORE. This archive will be searched last.
4600
 
4601
  * JATS utility: gen_cots
4602
    Ensure label is not locked
4603
    Add option to allow user to specify source directory other than a package
4604
    that already exists in dpkg_archive.
4605
 
4606
  * JATS directive: PackageFile
4607
    Now supports --Prod and --Debug options to limit the packaging process
4608
    to a specific type of build.
4609
 
4610
  * JATS directive: GenerateFiles and RunTests
4611
    Added a --PackageInfo() replacement tag to allow package version information
4612
    to be extracted and passed to generator programs.
4613
        ie: --PackageInfo(sysbasetypes,syd,--fullversion)
4614
 
4615
    Extended the --PackageBase() replacement tag to work with packages such as
4616
    sysbasetypes, where there is a .cr and a .syd type.
4617
        ie: --PackageBase(sysbasetypes,syd)
4618
 
4619
  * JATS utility: release
4620
    Under windows, ensure that the directory C:\Clearcase exists. There have
4621
    been installations of Clearcase where this is directory does not exist.
4622
 
4623
  * JATS utility: label
4624
    Added option: "-comment=Text" to allow a comment to be added to a label,
4625
    when it is being created.
4626
 
4627
Internal Changes
4628
  * JATS utility: create_dpkg
4629
    Refactored code to use JATS DescPkg class.
4630
 
4631
    Added options to allow packaging to the various archives. This is of no use
4632
    to the normal developer, but will be used within the complete build system.
4633
 
4634
  * Factored out the parsing of the BuildName directive
4635
    This process was being done in 3 locations - and there were getting
4636
    different results.
4637
 
4638
  * ToolsetRequire directive
4639
    This has been extended to allow JATS to locate Toolset extensions within
4640
    packages. They should be placed within the tool/scripts directory
4641
 
4642
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4643
Version: JATS_2.51.0                                Released: 15-Mar-06
4644
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4645
Major changes:
4646
 
4647
  * MCR toolset
4648
    Generate CD payload files in conjunction with the .BIN files
4649
 
4650
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4651
Version: JATS_2.50.0                                Released: 15-Feb-06
4652
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4653
Major changes:
4654
  * WIN32 utilities
4655
    Replaced a number of the Windows utilities ( cp, rm, mv ...)
4656
    with versions from the GNUWin32 project.
4657
 
4658
    The 'cp' previously used could not recursively copy large directories
4659
    under Windows Server 2003, when both the source and destination are on the
4660
    same drive. ( dpkg_cache of ace ).
4661
 
4662
Minor changes:
4663
  * BuildVersion
4664
    The definition of VERSION_BUILD within the generated version-defs.h file
4665
    will have leading zeros removed, thus allowing it to be used within a 'C'
4666
    program without the number being interpreted as an octal constant.
4667
 
4668
    The string form (VERSION_BUILD_STR) will retain the zeros.
4669
 
4670
  * Unix Builds
4671
    Corrected several issues encountered when specifying the name of a static
4672
    library or a shared library.
4673
 
4674
    JATS will prepend 'lib' to the user specified library name. Problems occurred
4675
    when the user specified a library name that started with 'lib'. Now, on Unix
4676
    systems, JATS will only prepend 'lib' if the library name does not already
4677
    start with 'lib'.
4678
 
4679
  * BuildPkgArchive
4680
    Since 2.45.0 JATS will only transfer files for the BuildPkgArchive, if
4681
    they have not already been transferred. Added a test for the source
4682
    package being updated and then forceing the copy to be repeated.
4683
 
4684
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4685
Version: JATS_2.49.0                                Released: 10-Feb-06
4686
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4687
Major changes:
4688
  * MOS_MRI toolset
4689
    Corrected a problem with the dependencies between a .REL file and the target
4690
    THX file. If the .REL files was modified the output THX file did not get
4691
    regenerated. This was only a problem in cases where the .REL file was
4692
    being manually maintained.
4693
 
4694
 
4695
Minor changes:
4696
  * MakeAnt directive
4697
    Introduced a check to ensure that this directive is only used with a toolset
4698
    that can handle an 'ant' build file. Currently only the JAVA toolset
4699
    supports ANT builds.
4700
 
4701
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
4702
    Correct problem in the caching of BuildPkgArchive packages in the case where
4703
    there is no GBE_DPKG_LOCAL on the machine.
4704
 
4705
  * Label utility
4706
    Added a 'files=filename,filename' option to allow only specified
4707
    files to be labeled.
4708
 
4709
  * Build. Parsing descpkg files
4710
    Corrected problem in which Java Manifest files were not parsed correctly
4711
    on Solaris.
4712
 
4713
  * Generated makefiles
4714
    Fix a bug with the CompilerOptions that allowed a '0' definition to be set to
4715
    nothing.
4716
 
4717
  * MOS Toolset
4718
    Added 'CompileOptions' of CcSupervisor.
4719
    This will set a MOS internal definition suitable for building specialised
4720
    modules.
4721
 
4722
  * Utility: gen_cots
4723
    This utility will create a JATS buildable package froma dpkg_archive entry
4724
    and then check it in under clearcase.
4725
 
4726
    JATS etool gen_cots -man will provide only help.
4727
 
4728
  * Utilty cache_dpkg
4729
    Detect and repair incomplete copy operations.
4730
 
4731
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4732
Version: JATS_2.48.0                                Released: 24-Jan-06
4733
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4734
Major changes:
4735
  None
4736
 
4737
Minor changes:
4738
  * DEVI addressed
4739
    DEVI-022055 JATS builds DLLs with wrong copyright symbol in version resource
4740
    DEVI-022054 JATS puts "ERG Group test" in Product Name of Windows resource
4741
 
4742
  * Utility: release (cbuild)
4743
    Added an option to create a view configured to work with a branching
4744
    rule. A single branch can be named with the -branch option. eg:
4745
 
4746
        jats release -extract 'label' -branch SITS_LEGACY_BRANCH
4747
 
4748
    will create a view based on the named label, but suitable for creating
4749
    a patch for Sydney Legacy work.
4750
 
4751
  * RunTest directive
4752
    The 'PATH' that the test uses is extended to allow access to programs that have
4753
    been installed with a InstallProg directive. This allows a test script to
4754
    test a program that is generated elsewhere within the package.
4755
 
4756
  * PackageFile, Option --DirTree
4757
    Support for filenames that contain a "$" or a ' ' within the
4758
    --DirTree option. Implemented to allow entire JAVA class trees to be
4759
    packaged under JATS
4760
 
4761
    Note: In general the use of a $ and space within a filename is not
4762
          supported within JATS.
4763
 
4764
  * Jats utility wrapper
4765
    Added an eprog option. The allows any program to be run within the
4766
    sanitized environment provided by JATS.
4767
 
4768
    The specified program may be in the current directory or the user's
4769
    PATH. If the program is a perl script then it will be run with the
4770
    JATS perl interpreter, otherwise it will be processed by the system.
4771
 
4772
    Eg: jats eprog myscript arg1 arg2
4773
    Eg: jats ant
4774
 
4775
  * Jats utility wrapper
4776
    Added an 'ant' command. ( "jats ant" )
4777
 
4778
    This will run an ERG ANT build by scanning the current directory for a file
4779
    called <ProjectName>depends.xml and then looking the a file called
4780
    <ProjectName>.xml. Jats will then create 'auto.xml' based on the
4781
    <ProjectName>depends.xml file and use ant to invoke the
4782
    <ProjectName>.xml file.
4783
 
4784
    If the ERG build files cannot be found then ant is simply run and it will
4785
    expect a build.pl file.
4786
 
4787
  * Jats utility wrapper
4788
    Force the environment variable PERL5INC to be unset.
4789
 
4790
  * Jats utility: create_dpkg
4791
    Simplify handling of ANT based projects. Look for the package within
4792
    the build/pkg subdirectory, in the JANTS style.
4793
 
4794
  * Utility: gen_winrc (DEVI-022054)
4795
    Added a "'-product=text'" option to allow the product name to be specified.
4796
 
4797
  * Build files
4798
    Handle the java generated descpkg files. These are a Manifest format with
4799
    ERG extensions.

4802
Version: JATS_2.47.0                                Released: 20-Dec-05
4803
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4804
Major changes:
4805
  * BuildVersion directive in build.pl
4806
    Correct a problem in the generation of version.c
4807
    The function GetModuleInfo() would return a string with a trailing
4808
    space when the 'array' mode was selected.
4809
 
4810
    This may cause module validation to fail.
4811
 
4812
Minor changes:
4813
  * None
4814
 
4815
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4816
Version: JATS_2.46.0                                Released: 08-Dec-05
4817
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4818
Major changes:
4819
  * BuildProduct and BuildPlatforms directives
4820
    Added option --Uses=NAME
4821
    ie:
4822
        BuildProduct    ( 'OBFTP,--Uses=TP5',    'MOSCF' );
4823
 
4824
    This will create a OBFTP_MOSCF platform that will 'use' TP5
4825
    headers and libraries if none are specifically provided for the
4826
    OBFTP. It is the users responsibily to ensure that the two build
4827
    environments are compatible.
4828
 
4829
 
4830
Minor changes:
4831
  * BuildName option
4832
    Modifications to allow the creation of COTS packages with buildnames
4833
    that do not confirm to the ERG naming scheme (--RelaxedVersion).
4834
 
4835
  * jats.bat
4836
    Ensure that GBE_BIN is not defined
4837
    It will be set by the jats.pl to a fully qualified path.
4838
 
4839
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4840
Version: JATS_2.45.0                                Released: 29-Nov-05
4841
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4842
Major changes:
4843
  * BuildPkgArchive directive
4844
    The operation of the BuildPkgArchive directive has been modified
4845
    so that a package will only be installed once. This significantly
4846
    speeds up multiple 'build' operations.
4847
 
4848
    If the package is being extracted from the 'local archive', then
4849
    this mechanism is suppressed as packages in the local archive are
4850
    considered as under development and are subject to change.
4851
 
4852
    If package cache is being refreshed, then the package will be
4853
    installed a second time. Thus it is possible to force the package to
4854
    be transferred into the 'interface' directory.
4855
 
4856
    A BuildTags directory is used to track packages that have been
4857
    transferred.
4858
 
4859
  * Internal changes to factor common code into a group of packages.
4860
    See notes below.
4861
 
4862
  * WIN32 toolset
4863
    Allow the Microsoft preprocessor directive #import to operate
4864
    correctly.
4865
 
4866
    Export the complete library search path into the build environment
4867
    for all Microsoft command, not just the linker and library commands.
4868
 
4869
  * BuildVersion
4870
    Modifications to allow the generation of version files for C#
4871
    The mechanism has been extended to allow version information for
4872
    other langauges as needed.
4873
 
4874
 
4875
Minor changes:
4876
  * Utility: gen_winrc.pl
4877
    Will extracted build number from the patch number, if present.
4878
    This information will be available to be placed into the generation
4879
    version strings.
4880
 
4881
  * GenerateFiles directive
4882
    Fixed a problem detecting programs that were not in the local
4883
    package or an imported package.
4884
 
4885
  * Toolsets: MOS_MRI
4886
    Generate an error if required tools are not found.
4887
    Previously this condition would generate a warning.
4888
 
4889
  * BuildPkgArchive and LinkPkgArchive directives
4890
    Ensure that packages are only included once. The previous check
4891
    was half-hearted and could allow multiple packages of the same
4892
    version to be included. This could result in badly formed
4893
    makefiles and strange error messages.
4894
 
4895
Internal Changes
4896
  * Started to factor out internal packages and place them into a common
4897
    directory. This will allow common error handling thoughout the suite
4898
    of utilities.
4899
 
4900
    Modified all utilities to utilize the common error reporting
4901
    functions.
4902
 
4903
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4904
Version: JATS_2.44.0                                Released: 18-Nov-05
4905
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4906
Major changes:
4907
  * Generated makefiles
4908
    Modified the windows shell to remove the use of the EXTENDED_LINE
4909
    cache. This did not work. Modified the extend.lst file to ensure
4910
    that sed did not process its arguments.
4911
 
4912
    This has been done to address a problem seen within test scripts
4913
    within unit tests that use wildcard expansion. The windows shell was
4914
    incorrectly processing:
4915
        sed '-es~.*WIN32~~'
4916
    The '.*' construct was being seen as a wildcard and the shell was
4917
    then putting the argument into a command file - it was totally
4918
    confused.
4919
 
4920
    NOTE: Attempted to remove use of EXTENDED_LINE, but this caused a
4921
    breakage with the DOS based gcc compiler( ie:H8S and others).
4922
    The construct
4923
        -D__SOURCE__=\"name\"
4924
    was corrupted somewhere. If the command is put in a command file,
4925
    then it works.
4926
 
4927
  * MakeAnt directive
4928
    Added option: --GeneratedFile=PathOfFile
4929
 
4930
    This option has the following effects
4931
        1) Marks the file a source file. It is then known to JATS and
4932
           can be used installed and manipulated.
4933
 
4934
        2) Schedules the processing of the ANT build to be done
4935
           early - in the generated files phase.
4936
 
4937
    Intended use. The creation of packages with a JNI. The Java
4938
    component needs to generate a header file early.
4939
 
4940
 
4941
Minor changes:
4942
  * JATS post-installation script
4943
    Flag deployment tools and libraries as executable.
4944
 
4945
  * Detection of extension type is case insensitive for non-unix
4946
    systems. Thus *.h and *.H files will considered header files in
4947
    windows.
4948
 
4949
  * Build.pl rewrite tool
4950
    Handle all variants of BuildName
4951
 
4952
  * Jats wrapper script
4953
    Generate an error if the JATS configuration variables are not usable
4954
        1) Contain spaces
4955
        2) Start with a // - Remote drives must be mapped
4956
 
4957
  * Toolset
4958
    Added a 'LINUX' platform.
4959
 
4960
  * JAVA toolset
4961
    Ensure the that build file passed via MakeAnt contains the following
4962
    directive:
4963
 
4964
        includeAntRuntime="off"'
4965
 
4966
    This MUST be used to ensure that ANT's classpath is not passed to
4967
    the java compiler thus ensuring that the compiler does not use ANT's
4968
    version of any JAR files that have not been specified by the user.
4969
 
4970
  * GCC Toolset
4971
    Use -Map name to create map files as needed for GCC under Debian
4972
 
4973
  * Makefile generation
4974
    When packages are used by name to resolve package location JATS
4975
    has been modified to use the package name specified by the user.
4976
    Previously JATS would use the package name found within the
4977
    descpkg file. In cases where the descpkg file was badly formed the
4978
    package could not be used.
4979
 
4980
  * Unit Tests
4981
    The following environment variables are set:
4982
 
4983
        GBE_TYPE    - The type of build. Debug or production. This
4984
                      will be set to either a 'P' or 'D'
4985
 
4986
        GBE_HOST    - The host machine we are running on.
4987
                      This will be set to 'WIN' or Unix'
4988
 
4989
    These variable should assist in the production of test scripts.
4990
 
4991
  * New makefile.pl directive: SetValue
4992
 
4993
 
4994
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4995
Version: JATS_2.43.0                                Released: 01-Nov-05
4996
------------------------------------------------------------------------
4997
Major changes:
4998
  * New Platform : "MCR" using the Mitsubishi m16c compiler.
4999
 
5000
    Special features of this toolset.
5001
    1) A .THX source file will be converted to an obtect file
5002
       This allows processing of fonts within a THX file to be
5003
       incorporated within the target image.
5004
 
5005
    2) Prog directive extensions:
5006
       --Set=Name=Value
5007
                The 'Name' is set to 'Value' at link time.
5008
                This allows the location of program segments to be set
5009
 
5010
       --Ref=name
5011
                The name of a Release file. If provided, it will be used
5012
                to provide information that will be placed within the
5013
                THX header. The version number will be ignored. It
5014
                will be taken from the build version number.
5015
 
5016
Minor changes:
5017
  * MOS Toolset
5018
    Create the VisionClick files when the THX file is created.
5019
    Previously the files were created when the THX was installed or
5020
    packaged.
5021
 
5022
  * Src directive
5023
    No generates a warning if no source files are located within the
5024
    directive. This is normally the result of a missing platform
5025
    specifier.
5026
 
5027
  * WIN32 runtime support
5028
    Added the following 'Unix' style utilities to assist in testing.
5029
        1) od       - dump files in octal and other formats
5030
        2) cmp      - compare two files byte by byte
5031
 
5032
Internal:
5033
    Added an extension to allow the target toolset to handle the "Prog"
5034
    dependancy generation if required. This allow complex program
5035
    generation mechanisms to be handled by the toolset.
5036
 
5037
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5038
Version: JATS_2.42.0                                Released: 19-Oct-05
5039
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5040
Major changes:
5041
    * BuildAlias directive
5042
      Added options.
5043
        --Define        - Does not create implicit platforms
5044
        --Target        - Redeclares the alais as the list of all
5045
                          platforms that are based on a given target or
5046
                          targets.
5047
      Eg:
5048
        BuildAlias      ( 'LMOS,--Target', 'LMOS_WIN32', 'LMOS_linux_armv4' );
5049
        BuildProduct    ( 'GAK',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K', 'MOSCF' );
5050
        BuildProduct    ( 'PCP',    'LMOS', 'MOS68K' );
5051
 
5052
      Will export an alias of LMOS that can be used within makefile.pl's
5053
      that will be the list of all platforms that have a target of
5054
      'LMOS_WIN32' or 'LMOS_linux_armv4'.
5055
 
5056
      Note the dual use of LMOS within the example. This is intentional.
5057
      The LMOS alias is used within the BuildProduct to simplify the
5058
      specification of all the LMOS targets.
5059
 
5060
 
5061
Minor changes:
5062
  * Label utility
5063
    Will generate a warning message if it labels more than one
5064
    build.pl file
5065
 
5066
  * Package directives. PackageFile.
5067
    Corrected a problem with wildcard expansion in which a --FilterIn
5068
    needed to be specified in order for the --FilterOut to operate.
5069
    Now all files in the tree are considered 'in' unless modified by the
5070
    --FilterIn option.
5071
 
5072
  * jats release (cbuilder) utility
5073
    Correct use of the -prodOnly and -debugOnly flags.
5074
    The full name was not accepted; -debug and -prod was.
5075
 
5076
  * Location of descpkg file
5077
    All makefile.pl's now know where the package descpkg file was
5078
    created. This simplifies the process og packaging this file as it
5079
    can be done within any makefile.pl.
5080
 
5081
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5082
Version: JATS_2.41.0                                Released: 27-Sep-05
5083
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5084
Major changes:
5085
  * RunTest directive
5086
    Extended the options and operation of RunTest
5087
    Additional options
5088
      --CopyIn=file
5089
        This will copy the specified file into the BIN directory before
5090
        the test is run. The file will be marked as executable. This
5091
        allows scripts and configuration files to be transferred into
5092
        the test area.
5093
 
5094
    Additional operations
5095
    The arguments passed to the script/program allow a number of
5096
    transformations, similar to GenerateFiles. Transforms
5097
      --File(xxxx[,flags])          - xxxx is a known file
5098
      --Local(xxxx[,flags])         - xxxx is a file that has been Installed
5099
      --PackageBase(xxxx[,flags])   - xxxx is a Package
5100
    Allows flags:
5101
      --dir         - directory part of the pathname
5102
      --file        - file part of the pathname
5103
      --abspath     - as an absolute path
5104
      --absdrive    - as an absolute path with drive letter (Windows)
5105
 
5106
    Files and directories are prerequisites of the test. Their
5107
    existence is tested.
5108
 
5109
  * Packaging Directives
5110
    Added a --Derived option to support the packaging of derived targets
5111
    such as LMOS.
5112
 
5113
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS');
5114
 
5115
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32
5116
 
5117
        PackageHdr ('*', 'file1.h', '--Derived=LMOS,sys');
5118
 
5119
    Will place file1.h into .../include/LMOS_WIN32/sys
5120
 
5121
  * JAVA 1.4 and 1.5
5122
    Added support to the JATS JAVA platform to allow the user to specify
5123
    the version of Java to be used to build a package.
5124
 
5125
        BuildPlatforms  ( 'JAVA,--Version=1.5' );
5126
 
5127
    The default will use the default machine version of JAVA.
5128
    This may not be sutable for all packages.
5129
 
5130
    Non-default versions of JAVA require that an environment variable be
5131
    set to the root of the JDK directory. These are:
5132
 
5133
      JAVA_HOME_1_4
5134
      JAVA_HOME_1_5
5135
 
5136
Minor changes:
5137
  * Script directive
5138
    Scripts may be copied into the BIN directory for use by a test.
5139
    These scripts are now always marked as executable.
5140
 
5141
  * JATS environment
5142
    Ensure that all programs run under JATS in Windows have an uppercase
5143
    COMSPEC envvar. Windows appears to define a mixed case one. Fixed in
5144
    the JATS wrapper script.
5145
 
5146
  * Label utility
5147
    Added -[no]checkout to control the labeling of checked out files.
5148
    There are three modes of operation:
5149
        1) -nocheckout      Checked out files are not labeled
5150
        2) -checkout        Only checked out files are labeled
5151
        3) Neither          All files are labeled.
5152

5155
Version: JATS_2.40.0                                Released: 15-Sep-05
5156
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5157
Major changes:
5158
 
5159
Minor changes:
5160
  * label utility
5161
    Added -smartlabel option to unlock and lock the label - if it was locked.
5162
    This options retains the locked state of a label.
5163
 
5164
  * AVR_IAR toolset
5165
    Extended the 'Prog' directive to allow a Program Loader to be
5166
    added to a program as it is created. The option is:
5167
      --ProgLoader=name
5168
 
5169
  * Package directives. PackageFile
5170
    Added support for packaging of directory trees.
5171
    Options to do this are:
5172
        --TreeDir=name
5173
        --FilterOut=regexp
5174
        --FilterIn=regexp
5175
        --StripDir
5176
 
5177
    Only a single directory can be specified.
5178
    Multiple filters are allowed.
5179
    The directories must be within the current directory. It is not
5180
    possible to search outside the subdirectory tree below the makefile.
5181
 
5182
    The filters allow elements within the directory to be selected.
5183
    The filters are regular expressions. Examples:
5184
 
5185
      '--FilterIn=\.h$'         - Select all files ending with .h
5186
      '--FilterOut=MyHeader.h'  - Except this one
5187
 
5188
    The --StripDir option will remove the TreeDir directory from the
5189
    files. This allows the top level directory to be stripped off.
5190

    * Make commands
5197
      Consolidated the parsing of the OPTIONS arguments.
5198
 
5199
      The filter and nofilter options are globally applied to all tools
5200
      sets. ie: jats make debug OPTIONS=nofilter
5201
 
5202
    * Label utility
5203
      Generate a warning when attempting to label a symbolic link.
5204
      Links are very hard to maintain in a reproducible manner.
5205
 
5206
Minor changes:
5207
    * Toolsets
5208
      Replaced the use of c:\WINDOWS and c:\Program Files with suitable
5209
      variables and overrides.
5210
 
5211
      The make_init target is always run.
5212
      This facility had been lost. The target was being used to provide
5213
      compiler sanity testing, but had was not being reliably run.
5214
 
5215
    * Deployment
5216
      Suppress testing of compiler existence when used in conjunction
5217
      with deployment operations.
5218
 
5219
    * Release utility
5220
      Add options to build only the debug or the production versions.
5221
      The default is to build both. Note: User option may be further
5222
      restricted by options within the build.
5223
 
5224
    * PackageLib, InstallLib and MergeLib directives in makefile.pl
5225
      The use of @LIBS and @MLIBS in unix systems was causing a
5226
      problem as these variables already had a 'lib' prepended to the
5227
      list of libraries. These directives would add another 'lib' to the
5228
      list of libraries under unix causing a mismatch.
5229
 
5230
      Corrected by stripping liblib from the names within these
5231
      directives.
5232
 
5233
    * MakeProject directive
5234
      If the project build fails the log file was not being displayed
5235
      because 'make' stops when a command fails.
5236
 
5237
      The MakeProject operations have been modified to ensure that the
5238
      log file is always displayed. The exit code of the build command
5239
      is preserved.
5240
 
5241
    * Auto build utility jats-rewrite.pl
5242
      Modified to support the rewrite of Java 'using' and 'project'
5243
      statements.
5244
 
5245
    * Mugfile generation
5246
      Added a --ThxDir=xxxx option to allow the THX and load files to
5247
      be placed in the target package.
5248
 
5249
 
5250
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5251
Version: JATS_2.38.0                                Released: 01-Sep-05
5252
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5253
Major changes:
5254
    * BuildVersion directive
5255
      The 'defs' mode has been extended to create a file with a build
5256
      number as well as a patch number.
5257
 
5258
      The patch number is decoded into a patch number and a build
5259
      number.
5260
 
5261
Minor changes:
5262
    * AddFlags directives
5263
      Added a --NoWarn option that will suppress the warning of
5264
      duplicate flags being added.
5265
 
5266
    * GBE_CORE environment variable (Windows)
5267
      Ensure that GBE_CORE has a driver letter. This allows use of JATS
5268
      loaded into the same dynamic view as the user code.
5269
 
5270
    * Mug File Generation
5271
      Added support to allow load files to include other load files.
5272
 
5273
   * 'cbuild' or 'release' command
5274
     Added a -latestroot=xxxx option. This is a work around for the
5275
     problem where the root level directory in the VOB has not been
5276
     labeled. After using this switch add the label to the root
5277
     directory.
5278
 
5279
     The need to use this this switch indicates that the view is NOT
5280
     reproducible.
5281
 
5282
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5283
Version: JATS_2.37.0                                Released: 22-Aug-05
5284
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5285
Major changes:
5286
    * jats.bat and jats.sh
5287
      Changes to include GBE_DPKG and GBE_DPKG_CACHE.
5288
      Most importantly GBE_DPKG must be a single directory. It is no
5289
      longer a list of directories.
5290
 
5291
      Removal of the setup of Microsoft Visual Studio 6. This is now
5292
      done within the toolset.
5293
 
5294
      *** Update your jats.bat to follow the format in this release
5295
 
5296
    * JATS environment variables
5297
      Redefined variable
5298
        GBE_DPKG        - Now the MASTER dpkg_archive
5299
                          Previously was a list that included the
5300
                          dpkg_archive cache.
5301
 
5302
      New variable
5303
        GBE_DPKG_CACHE  - Optional directory for a local cache of
5304
                          the main dpkg_archive.
5305
 
5306
 
5307
Minor changes:
5308
    * Utility: gen_packagelist
5309
      Enhanced (thanks Ross) to allow PATH information for various
5310
      target platforms to be extracted.
5311
 
5312
      Better support for Product families. This is only an issue
5313
      for WIN32 derived families due to the generation of a list of
5314
      libraries. The list now observes Product hierarchy.
5315
 
5316
    * Utility: release (cbuilder)
5317
      Added -noruntests option too suppress the running of unit tests
5318
      Units tests will still be run by default.
5319
 
5320
      Tighten the config specification used to build the sandbox. It has
5321
      no LATEST rules. All directories and files MUST be labeled.
5322
 
5323
    * Utility: jats_rewrite
5324
      Support ANT based XML files
5325
 
5326
    * Utility: create_dpkg
5327
      Support ANT flavor Manifest dependancy files and pkg directory
5328
      structure.
5329
 
5330
    * makefile.pl's
5331
      GenerateFiles directive. Added a --Prog specifier to allow tools
5332
      to be generated within the same script. Example:
5333
 
5334
            Prog('*', 'Myprog', @OBJS );
5335
            GenerateFiles ('*', "--Prog=MyProg",
5336
                                '--Prereq(infile)',
5337
                                '--GeneratedCommon(outfile)' );
5338
 
5339
      RunTest directive. Added a --Auto option to flags tests that can
5340
      be run within the Build Systems Auto Build environment. These
5341
      tests will be run with the 'run_unit_tests' target. All tests will
5342
      be run with the 'run_tests' targets. Only tests that confirm to
5343
      the ERG "Unit Test Automation" guidelines should be marked as
5344
      -- Auto.
5345
 
5346
    * Added a new make target: run_unit_tests
5347
      This will be used by the build tool to run non-interactive
5348
      unit tests within an automated framework.
5349
 
5350
    * Make run_test and run_unit_test operation
5351
      The search path for DLL's or Shared Libraries is extended to
5352
      include all Shared Libraries in the build package list as well
5353
      as the local and interface directory. This allows tests to
5354
      locate required Shared Libraries at runtime.
5355
 
5356
    * WIN32 targets built using Visual Studio 6
5357
      The path to the compiler is setup within JATS. It is no longer
5358
      imported from the users environment as the environment is
5359
      indeterminate when multiple versions of Visual Studio are
5360
      installed on the machine.
5361
 
5362
    * WINCE Targets
5363
      The name of the SDK is case sensitive.
5364
      The POCKET PC 2003 was incorrect
5365
 
5366
 
5367
 
5368
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5369
Version: JATS_2.36.0                                Released: 03-Aug-05
5370
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5371
Major changes:
5372
    * WIN32 platforms
5373
      When building Microsoft project files the PATH environment
5374
      variable is extended to include the DLL path of imported packages
5375
      and installed packages.
5376
 
5377
    * Building DLL or EXE with the --NoPDB option will disable the
5378
      generation of debug information so that the  linker does not
5379
      create CV style debug information in the target.
5380
 
5381
    * UNIX Platforms (SOLARIS and LINUX)
5382
      Modification to allow BuildProduct and BuildPkgArchive to
5383
      interwork. Previously BuildPkgArchive packages were placed into
5384
      the 'interface/lib/SOLARIS' subdirectory and this was not being
5385
      searched when looking for libraries.
5386
 
5387
Minor changes:
5388
    * GenerateFiles directive
5389
      New sub-options to filename generation commands
5390
        --abspath       - provide the named file with an absolute path
5391
        --absdrive      - provide the named file with an absolute path
5392
                          and drive letter
5393
 
5394
    * Src directive
5395
      Modified the --FromPackage' option to allow searching of the root
5396
      directory of a package.
5397
 
5398
            Src('*', 'etc/data.ini', '--FromPackage' );
5399
 
5400
      Also prevent warnings on duplicate files if the package is
5401
      imported with a BuildPkgArchive directive. The file was being
5402
      found in the package and the interface directory.
5403
 
5404
    * jats_rewrite utility
5405
      Process depend.xml files for auto builder
5406
 
5407
 
5408
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5409
Version: JATS_2.35.0                                Released: 28-Jul-05
5410
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5411
Major changes:
5412
    * SunWorks production builds
5413
      Corrected the flag used to select the level of compiler
5414
      optimisation. The current flag generates an error of:
5415
            cc: Warning: option -2 passed to ld
5416
      The flag has been changed from -O2 to -xO2 inline with the
5417
      compiler documentation.
5418
 
5419
    * MOS Toolset
5420
      Implement a workaround for a bug in VisionClick's convert program
5421
      in which the tool would not generate a valid .bdx file.
5422
 
5423
      The solution was to create the .bdx and .ab file in two steps.
5424
 
5425
Minor changes:
5426
    * Correct the case of 4 toolset files. The files were created under
5427
      windows, which has a habit of capitalizing filenames.
5428
      This should not affect current users.
5429
 
5430
    * Mugfile generation
5431
      Extended the --Package option to allow subdirectories to be
5432
      specified.
5433
        "--Package=MyPackage,--Subdir=thx/moscf,thx"  
5434
 
5435
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5436
Version: JATS_2.34.0                                Released: 22-Jul-05 
5437
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5438
Major changes:
5439
    MOS Toolset
5440
    Modified the optimizations options used to generate 'Production'
5441
    code. A problem with -Ob optimization has been identified.
5442
 
5443
Minor changes:
5444
    * Jats wrapper script
5445
      Windows: Ensure that cmd.exe is in the users PATH. Without cmd.exe
5446
      scripts will not work properly as the PERL 'system' command assumes
5447
      that cmd.exe is in the users PATH.
5448
 
5449
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive
5450
      Processing soft links. Generate a warnings if a package soft
5451
      link and a real package are found in the same directory. The link
5452
      may be suspect.
5453
 
5454
    * GenerateFiles directive
5455
      Added a --PackageBase(xxx) argument that will be replaced with
5456
      the pathname to the specified package.  
5457
 
5458
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5459
Version: JATS_2.33.0                                Released: 18-Jul-05
5460
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5461
Major changes:
5462
    * Added a JAVA platform to better support the processing of ANT
5463
      build.xml files.
5464
 
5465
Minor changes:
5466
    * WIN32 toolset.
5467
      Delete V7 specific temp files when compiling with V7 compiler
5468
 
5469
    * MakeAnt
5470
      Pass an absolute path to the 'interface' directory to allow the
5471
      build.xml file to be a directory other than the current directory
5472
 
5473
      Allow the ANT_HOME path to contain spaces: c:\Program Files\Ant
5474
 
5475
    * gen_winrc - A utility to generate Windows RC files with version
5476
      information. Allow 3 or 4 fields in the version number. If only
5477
      3 fields are provided, then the fourth field is set to 0.
5478
 
5479
    * MakeAnt directive
5480
      Now supports --Debug and --Prod options to limit the building of
5481
      ANT files. The MakeAnt directive is only going to work in
5482
      conjunction with the JAVA target
5483
 
5484
      Recommended usage:
5485
      MakeAnt('JAVA',"build.xml","--Jar=java.build/test.jar",'--Prod');
5486
 
5487
Internal Changes
5488
      The MakeAnt directive is now treated like a MakeProject directive.
5489

Version: JATS_2.32.0                                Released: 13-Jul-05
5493
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5494
Major changes:
5495
    * Initial release of WINCE and WIN32 V7 based project builds
5496
      The DSW, VCW and SLN files can be built via JATS and selected
5497
      files packaged into the release.
5498
 
5499

                                page=UsingJATSToBuildMicrosoftProjects
5503
 
5504
    * Added support for Visual Studio 2003.
5505
      The recommended platform is:
5506
        BuildProduct    ( 'VS2003', 'WIN32,--Version=MS.NET2003' );
5507
 
5508
    * Initial release of support for building Ant files.
5509
      JATS can build small Java sub-components using Ant. This is not
5510
      a replacement for JANTS it is intended for mixed C++ and Java
5511
      components.

5517
 
5518
Minor changes:
5519
    * Support for Windows DLLs
5520
      When building a WIN32 target the file interface/set_WIN32.bat is
5521
      created. This file extends the Windows PATH to allow DLLs used
5522
      by the package to be accessed.
5523
 
5524
      The file may be "called" from a wrapper batch file to start the
5525
      application or visual studio.
5526
 
5527
    * The descpkg file created by JATS contains a JATS version number
5528
      and the JATS Core path.
5529
 
5530
    * AddIncDir, AddSrcDir and AddLibDir directives
5531
      Now generate an error if there is only one argument to the
5532
      directive or if no directories where specified.
5533
 
5534
    * MOS Toolset
5535
      Add support for the TPT device
5536
      Correct error message for unsupported devices.
5537
 
5538
    * Correct problem with in creating absolute path names to allow
5539
      DOS driver letters to be handled correctly.
5540
 
5541
    * Added --ExcludeLib(xxx,yyy) processing to allow specified
5542
      libraries to be excluded from a list of libraries processed by
5543
      when creating libraries, shared libraries and programs.
5544
 
5545
      Used in conjunction with --Using(aaaa) to correct errors.
5546
 
5547
Internal Changes
5548
    * JATS release process validates the JATS version number contained
5549
      in jats.pl
5550
 
5551
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5552
Version: JATS_2.31.0                                Released: 28-Jun-05
5553
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5554
Major changes:
5555
    * JATS wrapper script
5556
      Allow multiple alternative build files: auto.pl and build_test.pl
5557
 
5558
    * Initial support for the building of WINCE based projects
5559
 
5560
    * Formal release of the toosl to generate Mug Files
5561
 
5562
Minor changes:
5563
    * Deployment support
5564
      Allow a --PatchNum to be specified in the BuildName
5565
      This is then used to invoke a deploypatch.pl file
5566
 
5567
    * 'build'
5568
      Added --ForceBuildPkg switch to the 'jats build' command to
5569
      force LinkPkgArchive directives to be interpreted as
5570
      BuildPkgArchive. This option is useful for the creation of
5571
      sandboxes for use within IDEs as the package files are placed
5572
      in a known directory structure within the sandbox.
5573
 
5574
    * WINCE and WIN32 Toolset
5575
      Options for Program and Shared Library construction
5576
            --Entry=xxxx            - Alternate entry point
5577
            --NoAddLibs             - Do not add default libraries to
5578
                                      the link phase.
5579
 
5580
    * BuildPkgArchive
5581
      Handle symlink directories at the top level of the package tree
5582
      Previously these were ignored.
5583
      Minor code cleanup
5584
 
5585
    * "cbuild" or "release" utility
5586
      Add a "-path=xxxx" option to provide sanity testing of the Release
5587
      Manager "Source Path" field.
5588
 
5589
    * SOLARIS targets
5590
      Modified the TARGET name generated with building a Product Family
5591
      based on SOLARIS. It is treated in the same manner as a Platform
5592
      of SOLARIS and creates a targets of SOLARIS_sparc
5593
 
5594
    * MugFile generation
5595
      Allows a 'load.cmd' file to be used to list the THX files to be
5596
      included in the final package.
5597
 
5598
    * Corrected a problem with the processing of platform selection
5599
      arguments used within all directives within a makefile.pl.
5600
      Multiple platforms should be specified as:
5601
            Src( 'PLAT1,PLAT2,PLAT3', .... );
5602
      with only a comma between the platforms: No whitespace
5603
      If whitespace did exist then the makefile.pl would not do what
5604
      was expected - and it would not warn the user. The simplest
5605
      solution was to allow whitespace either side of the comma.        
5606
 
5607
    * GenerateFiles directive within makefile.pl
5608
      Allow 3 different bracket styles for the arguments to allow for
5609
      embedded  brackets. Now allow
5610
            --Option=(some_text)
5611
            --Option=[some_text]
5612
            --Option={some_text}
5613
 
5614
Internal Changes
5615
    * Derive the names of the package and install directories from a
5616
      single data structure rather then being hardcoded throughout the
5617
      code.
5618

5620
Version: JATS_2.30.0                                Released: 01-Jun-05
5621
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5622
Major changes:
5623
    * JATS wrapper script
5624
      Changed the command line parsing. Now use GetOpts.
5625
 
5626
      Modified "all" command It no longer performs an "install"
5627
      The "install" process is not needed. the build places a shortcut
5628
      to the package into the local_dpkg_archive. This can be used by
5629
      other components.
5630
 
5631
      Removed "bmake" command. The "all" command is the now that same.
5632
 
5633
    * JATS
5634
      Created a class to write JATS configuration files.
5635
      Changes to the code to use this new class.
5636
 
5637
    * Build operations
5638
      Perform one level of package version checking. Generate warnings
5639
      if required packages are built against different versions of
5640
      packages.
5641
 
5642
    * Make operations
5643
      Added a new target - "deploy". This interfaces to the deployment
5644
      scripts. This is still a work interfaces progress.
5645
 
5646
Minor changes:
5647
    * Added environment variables to assist in the running of the
5648
      deployment builds.
5649
        PERL5LIB        - Extended based on GBE_CORE
5650
        DEPLOYLIB_DIR   - Calculate based on GBE_CORE
5651
 
5652
      Extended the "jats vars" display
5653
 
5654
    * build.pl
5655
        Corrected BuildAlias() operation. Defined options are correctly
5656
        processed. Allows
5657
            BuildAlias('WIN', 'WIN32,--OnlyProduction');
5658
        to define a platform called WIN32 that only builds for
5659
        production.
5660
 
5661
    * MOS toolset
5662
      Added a '--Acon' options to SharedLib to allow the creation of
5663
      Acon modules. These required special linking.
5664
 
5665
    * create_dpkg utility
5666
      Adds a files to the published package to indicate which type of
5667
      machine the package was published from. This will be used in a
5668
      multi-machine build environment to assist in determining the
5669
      progress of the build.
5670
 
5671
    * New utility - jats_save_build.pl
5672
      This is specific to the auto build system. It will be used to
5673
      capture the modified build files back into the version control
5674
      system.
5675
 
5676
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5677
Version: JATS_2.29.0                                Released: 25-May-05
5678
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5679
Major changes:
5680
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5681
      Modified the way that PDB files are created.
5682
      The files are now created using absolute pathnames when compiling
5683
      The name of the PDB files embedded in created DLLs is now correct.
5684
      The PDB files created when compiling objects for DLLs are now not
5685
      named after the DLLs - this was causing the linker toolsets crash.
5686
 
5687
    * WCEX86A500 target
5688
      Corrected problem creating DLLs.
5689
 
5690
    * MOS Toolsets
5691
      Modified the mechanism by which absolute filenames are passed to
5692
      the compiler.
5693
 
5694
    * RunTest directive
5695
      This directive will ensure that the named test is either a script
5696
      or a TestProg. If the test to be run is a TestProg then a
5697
      suitable suffix will be added to the named test.
5698
 
5699
Minor changes:
5700
    * JATS BUILD
5701
      Generate an error if the setting of GBE_BUILDFILTER or
5702
      GBE_PLATFORM prevents any targets being made at all. This should
5703
      highlight bad settings.
5704
 
5705
    * Publish the JATS toolsets extension pathnames to simplify the
5706
      access to extensions.
5707
 
5708
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5709
Version: JATS_2.28.0                                Released: 18-May-05
5710
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5711
Major changes:
5712
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5713
      Enable dependancy file generation of C++ files
5714
 
5715
    * label utility ( SOLARIS )
5716
      Fix bug with the escaping of '(' and ')' in cleartool commands
5717
      under unix.
5718
 
5719
Minor changes:
5720
    * label utility
5721
      Added options to:
5722
        o Delete a label
5723
        o Prevent recursion while labeling
5724
        o Control labeling of files missing from a static view
5725
 
5726
    * WIN32 and WINCE toolsets
5727
      Correct problem with the packaging of PDB files. Packaging of the
5728
      PDB files can be controlled with the -Extras= options to the
5729
      Package directives.
5730
 
5731
    * Added GBE_UNIX to the JATS_2 controlled environment. Set by
5732
      jats.pl to be used by utilities to determine the underlying
5733
      system.
5734
 
5735
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5736
Version: JATS_2.27.0                                Released: 10-May-05
5737
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5738
Major changes:
5739
    * MOS Toolset
5740
      The generation of multiple THX's in the one makefile.pl now works
5741
      There was a subtle "closure" problem in the toolset.
5742
 
5743
    * WIN32 Toolset
5744
      Added CompileOption of AddLibs (default) and NoAddLibs
5745
      toolset suppress the addition of thread libraries toolset the link
5746
      list.
5747
 
5748
    * Put a version number in the "interface" information toolset
5749
      allow JATS to generate an error when the "interface" changes.
5750
 
5751
      This version is manually maintained and prone to error.
5752
 
5753
    * GenerateFiles directive one Unix systems was incorrectly
5754
      invoking "sh.exe" instead of "sh"
5755
 
5756
 
5757
Minor changes:
5758
    * SOLARIS_SPARC platform (GCC toolset)
5759
      The process of creating a Shared Libraries creates a soft link
5760
      to the the "GBEBIN" directory. This directory was not listed as
5761
      a prerequisite and was not being created. This problem has been
5762
      corrected.
5763
 
5764
    * JATS will detect an "auto.pl" file and use it as an alternate
5765
      build.pl file. Previously this file was named build.use.pl.
5766
 
5767
    * Correct problem when .PDB files are installed from a merged
5768
      library created from libraries that have been 'installed'
5769
      JATS would create a circular dependancy.
5770
 
5771
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5772
Version: JATS_2.26.0                                Released: 03-May-05
5773
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5774
Major changes:
5775
    * WIN32 Toolset
5776
      Correct a problem linking in required / correct libraries for
5777
      use with multithreaded modes.
5778
 
5779
    * Complete the support for Global build options of --OnlyDebug and
5780
      --OnlyProd.
5781
 
5782
      These options can now be provided in the "Platform" directive
5783
      within the makefile.pl.
5784
 
5785
Minor changes:
5786
    * Platform directive within makefile.pl
5787
      These use of the "*" platform specifier has been modified such
5788
      that options provided within the directive will be added to all
5789
      platforms.
5790
 
5791
      eg:   Platform ('*', '--OnlyProduction' );
5792
 
5793
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5794
Version: JATS_2.25.0                                Released: 29-Apr-05
5795
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5796
Major changes:
5797
    * Correct problem in handling the SOLARIS_SPARC platform.
5798
      The SOLARIS platform is a bit of a kludge for backward
5799
      compatibility. JATS was not differentiating between SOLARIS and
5800
      SOLARIS_SPARC correctly.
5801
 
5802
    * Preliminary Support
5803
      Global build options of --OnlyDebug and --OnlyProd, which are
5804
      mutually exclusive. These may between specified in the build.pl
5805
      file as build arguments in any of the three standard mechanism.
5806
 
5807
        BuildPlatforms ( 'SOLARIS', '--OnlyDebug' );
5808
        BuildProduct   ( 'GAK', 'MOS68K,--OnlyProduction' );
5809
        BuildArgument  ( 'WIN', '--OnlyProduction' );
5810
 
5811
      These options limit processing to either Production or Debug
5812
      building. The default build will build both.
5813
 
5814
Minor changes:
5815
    * Extended the search path that JATS will use attempting to locate
5816
      a build.pl file. JATS will now look in ., build and build/jats
5817
      directories in the current directory and 3 directories up.
5818
 
5819
    * WCEX86A420 toolset
5820
      Added suitable libflags entry. Prevents the warning:
5821
        warning: undefined variable `WCE_LIBFLAGS'
5822
 
5823
 
5824
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5825
Version: JATS_2.24.0                                Released: 21-Apr-05
5826
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5827
Major changes:
5828
    * PackageLib and PackageProg directives now have a --Extra=xxx[,xxx]
5829
      option. Where xxx can be one or more of: none stub map lint debug
5830
      or all.
5831
 
5832
      This option may be used to limit the files that are packaged with
5833
      the library or program.
5834
 
5835
      Eg: PackageLib ('MOS', 'MyThx', '--Extra=none' );
5836
 
5837
      Will only package the .thx file. It will not package the stub
5838
      library or any debug files.
5839
 
5840
    * GenerateFiles
5841
      All processed arguments now support two options.
5842
 
5843
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--dir)
5844
              directory in which the prereq file is found
5845
 
5846
          ie: --Prerequisite(xxxx,--file)
5847
              The filename of the prereq file
5848
 
5849
    * LinkPkgArchive and BuildPkgArchive will cause the build to fail if
5850
      the required package is not available. A "--package" option, to
5851
      the build command, will prevent this behaviour.
5852
 
5853
 
5854
Minor changes:
5855
    * create_dpkg utility
5856
      Touch descpkg files when packages are merged. This will allow
5857
      utilities that use the timestamp of this file to determine that
5858
      the package has been altered.
5859

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5861
Version: JATS_2.23.0                                Released: 14-Apr-05

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5863
Major changes:
5864
    * New toolset: WCEX86A420
5865
      This is a WINCE target
5866
      This uses the ADVANTEC_X86_CE42 SDK
5867
 
5868
    * New toolset
5869
      mpt for the mpt500 platfomr
5870
 
5871
    * Modified toolset
5872
      THYRON - updates from An An Tran
5873
 
5874
    * Modified toolset
5875
      MRI68K. Now supports the Microtec 5.1 68k compiler
5876
 
5877
Minor changes:
5878
    * "cbuild" or "release" command now has a -merge option to allow
5879
      builds from different machines to be merged into dpkg_archive.
5880
 
5881
      The default operation is to replace the package indpkg_archive.
5882
 
5883
    * Simplify the use of GBE_BUILDFILTER
5884
      GBE_BUILDFILTER should be used to limit the creation of makefiles
5885
      to those that are supported by the underlying hardware.
5886
 
5887
      The change allows the construct
5888
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS --TARGET=SOLARIS
5889
      to be replaced by the simpler
5890
        GBE_BUILDFILTER=SOLARIS
5891
 
5892
      The default operation is to allow or disallow all TARGETS of the
5893
      specified name.

5913
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5914
Major changes:
5915
    * The "package.pl" file.
5916
      Setting $Pbase to "." is now supported and will result in the
5917
      package name being taken from the build name
5918
 
5919
      It is an error to set Pbase to a value other than "." or the
5920
      package Build Name.
5921
 
5922
Minor changes:
5923
    * create_dpkg utility

    * Dependancy generator
5933
      Correct two common situations
5934
        1) // Style comments. The following line was ignored
5935
        2) Allow preprocessor directives to be indents. This is not
5936
           ansi, but is often done.
5937
 
5938
    * GCC toolset
5939
      Corrected operation of the C++ compiler. The object file was not
5940
      being created in the correct place.
5941
 
5942
    * jats "label"
5943
      The -auto -clone options allow a label to be created if its not
5944
      present. Previously this would label all files in the VOB.
5945
 
5946

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5950
Major changes:
5951
 
5952
Minor changes:
5953
    * BuildPkgArchive. The transfer of the "pkg" subdirectory has been
5954
      modified. Directories of the form pkg/pkg.$(GBE_MACHTYPE) will
5955
      be transferred to the "pkg" directory.
5956
 
5957
      If there are no directores of the form "pkg.xxxxx" then the entire
5958
      pkg directory will be transferred.
5959
 
5960
    * Transfer to dpkg_acrhive
5961
      Corrected a problem in which a file with the same name as the
5962

      The JATS toolset has been modified to provide the required
5970
      binaries for this target.
5971
 
5972
      The platform SOLARIS_I386 has been created to build on this target
5973
      with the GCC compiler.
5974
 
5975
      The JATS startup shell has been modified to allow specfic values
5976
      to be imported from the environment. Under Unix such values may
5977
      need to be specified in the /etc/profile file.
5978
 
5979
Minor changes:
5980
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
5981
      will now generate a warning if a "local" directory has not been specified
5982
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
5983
 
5984
    * cbuild ( release) utility
5985
      Fxied a problem locating VOBs under Solaris

------------------------------------------------------------------------
5990
Major changes:
5991
    * The InstallHdr, InstallLib, InstallJar and InstallProd directives
5992
      will generate an error if a "local" directory has not been specified
5993
      with a "BuildInterface" directive in the build.pl file.
5994
 
5995
      The "local" directory should be specified to JATS so that it can
5996
      remove the directory tree with the "clobber" command.
5997
 
5998
    * jats_rewrite.pl utility
5999
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains comments
6000
      with either " or ' characters.
6001
 
6002
    * BuildSubDir - in build.pl
6003
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6004
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6005
 
6006
    * SubDir - in makefile.pl
6007
      It is now an error if the specified subdirectory does not exist
6008
      and  does not contain the file "makefile.pl".
6009
 
6010
    * Jats wrapper
6011
      Added a "-locate" option to force JATS to locate the build.pl file
6012
      and then change to the containing directory before execution
6013
      further commands.
6014
 
6015
Minor changes:
6016
    * WinCe and Win32 toolsets
6017
      Corrected a problem in the generation of .dep files used in the
6018
      creation of Shared Libraries. There was a miss-match between the
6019
      name of the .dep file and its content.
6020
 
6021
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6022
Version: JATS_2.15.0                                Released: 22-Mar-05
6023
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6024
Major changes:
6025
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolset. New CompileOptions
6026
        NoPDB   - Disable the generation of PDBs
6027
        PDB     - Enable the generation of PDBs (default).
6028
 
6029
      These options operation affect all components within the
6030
      makefile.pl. If the directive is used within the common makefile.pl
6031
      then they will affect all components within the build.
6032
 
6033
      Note: It is not possible to create a merged library in which some
6034
            of the component libraries have PDB's and some do not.
6035
 
6036
Minor changes:
6037
 
6038
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6039
Version: JATS_2.14.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6040
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6041
Major changes:
6042
    * The MergeLibrary directive, under WIN32 and WinCe, will publish the
6043
      PDB files associated with the library files being merged.
6044
 
6045
Minor changes:
6046
    * gen_winrc tool can add an icon to a program.
6047
      The utility supports -icon=filename.ico
6048
 
6049
    * The JATS wrapper script command "prod" to build and package the
6050
      production parts. This is similar to the "dev" command.
6051
 
6052
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6053
Version: JATS_2.13.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6054
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6055
Major changes:
6056
    * Modified the order in which the makefiles passes operate. Merged
6057
      the make_shlib and the install_shlib into one phase. The
6058
      implication of this is that Shared Libraries that are created can
6059
      "installed" so that other shared libraries can link against them.
6060
      The order in which the makefile.pl's are processed is important as
6061
      this is the order in which the libraries will be created and
6062
      installed.
6063
 
6064
      This solution does not handle mutual shared libraries: two shared
6065
      libraries that depend on each other.
6066
 
6067
      This is an issue only in Solaris and Linux systems that do not
6068
      generate separate stub libraries to link against.
6069
 
6070
Minor changes:
6071
    * WIN32 and WinCE Toolsets
6072
      Building up resources. The RC compiler can now locate resource files
6073
      in the "local" and "interface" directory.
6074
 
6075
    * The version.c, version.h and descpkg files will be created in the
6076
      first directory named with a BuildDir directive, unless a
6077
      "src" directory is encountered. This mimics the operation
6078
      of the older JATS, without the need for a "src" directory.
6079
 
6080
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6081
Version: JATS_2.12.0                                Released: 18-Mar-05
6082
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6083
Major changes:
6084
 
6085
Minor changes:
6086
    * Added a --Depend=xxx[,yyy]+ option to the Src directive
6087
      Not needed for C and C++ files, but may be used in conjunction
6088
      with assembler files to indicate that the file includes another
6089
      file.
6090
 
6091
    * Fixed problem with the local_dpkg_archive consistency test when
6092
      a soft link is used to redirect to the package.
6093
 
6094
    * Win32 and WinCE toolsets
6095
      Added a compiler option to enable Run Time Type Information.
6096
            CompileOptions ('WIN32', 'RTTI' );
6097
 
6098
      Add an option to Shared Library creation to allow the generation of
6099
      a Resource Only DLL. Option is "--ResourceOnly"
6100
 
6101
      Add an option to allow Resources to be built into Static Libraries
6102
      in the same manner at Shared Libraries.
6103
 
6104
    * WinCE toolsets
6105
      Mutual DLL support corrected. Library path is used to resolve
6106
      compiler specific libraries.
6107
 
6108
    * SOLARIS toolset
6109
      Prevent the compiler displaying its command line. This is in line
6110
      with the other tools sets. The commands can be seen with
6111
      OPTIONS=args and this may be set in the users environment.
6112
 
6113
      Modified the cleanup process to delete the links to shared
6114
      libraries. Only files, and not links to files, where being
6115
      cleaned up.
6116
 
6117
    * Microtec tools set (MOS)
6118
      Dependancy generation can display commands with OPTIONS=args
6119
 
6120
    * jats_rewriter.pl
6121
      Allow BuildName and LinkPkgArchive directives to contains arguments
6122
      with either " or ' characters.
6123
 
6124
 
6125
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6126
Version: JATS_2.11.0                                Released: 15-Mar-05
6127
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6128
Major changes:
6129
    * BuildPkgArchive operation
6130
      The entire "include" directory is copied into the interface area
6131
      The installer was trying to be too smart and only copy platform
6132
      specific files,but was missing out many needed subdirectories
6133
 
6134
      Reduce the warnings generated. These were an artifact of the process
6135
      of picking up all the strange variations of the directory structures.
6136
 
6137
    * Cleaned up the handling of object files that were generated by the
6138
      user.
6139
 
6140
    * MOS Microtec Toolset
6141
      Always present an absolute filename to the compiler
6142
      Display a shortened filename to allow the user to track progress
6143
 
6144
      This will remove error messages about the path being too long
6145
      for the   -Gf option.
6146
 
6147
Minor changes:
6148
    * SOLARIS Toolset
6149
      Remove duplicate -KPIC flags on the command line
6150
 
6151
    * Win32 and WinCE Toolset
6152
      Source files are either compiled by the C compiler as C files or
6153
      the C++ compiler as C++ files. The option to allow the compiler to
6154
      figure out what sort of file it is has been removed.
6155
 
6156
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6157
Version: JATS_2.10.0                                Released: 11-Mar-05
6158
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6159
Major changes:
6160
    * Extended BuildName to accept the form
6161
            BuildName ('package_name', 'nn.nn.nn.xxx' );
6162
 
6163
    * MOS68K and MOSCF toolset.
6164
      Extended the --board option to allow the user to define code and
6165
      data addresses for the board.
6166
 
6167
            BuildProduct( 'TP5', 'MOSCF','--board=01234H,05678H' );
6168
 
6169
      Will set the code,data address for the debugable image
6170
 
6171
    * Extended the PackageXxxxx options
6172
      1) Allow --Platform=xxx,yyy
6173
         Where xxx is a directory prefix and yyy is suffix to the
6174
         "platform" name.  Only useful within the context of the
6175
         PackageFile
6176
 
6177
      2) The operation of --Platform=xxx when used by the PackageFile
6178
         directive now treats the xxx directory as a prefix to the
6179
         platform name. Other Package directives still treat it as a
6180
         suffix. In practice this is the logical use.
6181
 
6182
    * Allow InstallLib and PackageLib to install a file that has been
6183
      discovered with a "Src" directive. This allows generated files
6184
      to be installed and packaged.
6185
 
6186
Minor changes:
6187
 
6188
    * cache_dpkg utility
6189
      If a package is found in the local_dpkg_archive then the cache
6190
      entry will be deleted and the master archive will not be accessed.
6191
 
6192
    * label utility
6193
      New option -auto to create and label
6194
 
6195
    * Build WIN32 and WinCe Mutual DLLs with all the object files
6196
      This allows the generated import library to contain C++ names
6197
 
6198
    * The BuildDirTree directive now supports an empty first argument
6199
      This allows a NULL tree.dir file, while still creating the root
6200
      directory. ie:
6201
 
6202
            BuildDirTree    ( '', 'pkg' );
6203
 
6204
    * Fixed DEVIM 00019520
6205
      The problem was that /bin/pwd could return a different path to
6206
      the Cwd:getpwd() function. Solution: Use one mechanism throughout.
6207
 
6208
 
6209
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6210
Version: JATS_2.9.0                                 Released: 28-Feb-05
6211
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6212
Major changes:
6213
    * First release for Back Office and Front Office use.
6214
 
6215
    * Added the jats tool  jats_rewrite.pl to rewrite build.pl files.
6216
      To be used by the nightly build process.
6217
 
6218
    * Work around a problem in the Microtec 68K compiler.
6219
      The compiler uses temp files. If the temp file name that the
6220
      compiler uses already exists, then the compiler will not delete
6221
      the file. Instead it appends information to the existing file.
6222
 
6223
      The workaround is to create the temp files within the build's
6224
      interface directory and to remove all temp files before each
6225
      compilation.
6226
 
6227
      This bug does not affect the Mictotec CF compiler.
6228
 
6229
Minor changes:
6230
    * The "jats clobber" command will remove version definition file, if
6231
      one is being produced.
6232
 
6233
    * Using JATS within a Visual Studio project. The "rebuild all"
6234
      option now translates to the JATS unbuild command to do a better
6235
      job of cleaning the workspace.
6236
 
6237
    * Added GetPackageRoot() directive to support the packaging of MOS
6238
 
6239
    * Generate error message for misuse of the SubDir directive
6240
 
6241
    * Modified BuildName to allow an '-' in the name.
6242
      This provides backward compatibility with existing packages.
6243
 
6244
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6245
Version: JATS_2.8.0                                 Released: 17-Feb-05
6246
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6247
Major changes:
6248
    * Added some new WINCE based targets. These require WINCE SDKs to be
6249
      installed in order for the compilers to work.
6250
 
6251
    * New PLATFORMS are WCEIT3000, WCEPA961 and WCEPCM7220
6252
 
6253
    * All invocations of xmake specify the name of the makefile
6254
      This allow GNUMakefiles and the Jats makefiles to exist in the
6255
      same directory
6256
 
6257
    * Overcome a limitation of the Microtec compiler in which the flag
6258
      _DEBUG is defined enev in production builds - contrary to the
6259
      documenattion.
6260
 
6261
Minor changes:
6262
    * Process of descpkg files allows for both Unix and DOS line endings
6263
      Under Unix JATS would report that the package names don't match
6264
 
6265
    * Corrected a problem with BuildPkgArchive in which file names with
6266
      spaces could not be soft linked. Only affects Unix systems.
6267
 
6268
    * Added a -rename to the "jats label" utility.
6269
      Ensure that the user specified label exists in the VOB
6270
 
6271
    * Correct problem with "make clean" that resulted in a verbose display
6272
      when the verbose option had not been selected
6273
 
6274
    * Correct a problem with "make unbuild". Changes in the build files
6275
      would prevent the execution of the command. This command should
6276
      be exempt from this test.
6277
 
6278
    * Correct a problem with "make clean" in the WIN32 and WINCE
6279
      platforms where the .exp files were not deleted.
6280
 
6281
    * The "JATS clobber" command now invokes "make clobber" and "build
6282
      clobber". The result is as clean a clean as it can be.
6283
 
6284
      Note: Jats "clean" does not remove a lot of files. These can be
6285
      removed with "unbuild" and "unpackage". This is what "clobber"
6286
      does.
6287
 
6288
    * The operation of "build clobber" has been cleaned up. It will
6289
      not try to invoke make if the makefiles have already been removed.
6290
 
6291
 
6292
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6293
Version: JATS_2.7.0                                 Released: 09-Feb-05
6294
------------------------------------------------------------------------
6295
Major changes:
6296
    * First release with support for the DAFBR compiler
6297
 
6298
    * Extended MergeLibrary. Added per-file options of:
6299
        --Interface         - Pull lib from Interface directory
6300
        --Local             - Pull lib from Local directory (default)
6301
        --SubDir=pathname   - Pull lib from a subdirectory
6302
                              Note: xxxx,pathname still works
6303
 
6304
    * Added "jats label" to provide a number of useful labeling
6305
      operations.
6306
 
6307
    * Added extensive help to JATS. JATS -man.
6308
 
6309
    * Added this manual ChangeLog file
6310
 
6311
Minor changes
6312
    * Added an 'ebin' command to jats to allow the JATS binary tools to
6313
      be run in a controlled environment from the command line.
6314
 
6315
    * Prune the list of library paths passed through to the various
6316
      toolsets. If a directory does not have any files in it then the
6317
      directory is not added to the library path.
6318
 
6319
      Thus if a library is located in xxxx/lib/WIN32 then JATS will
6320
      not add the xxxx/lib to the path.
6321
 
6322
    * cbuilder will now look in all VOBs for the user specified label.
6323
      The program has a list of "known" labels which it will search
6324
      first in an attempt to speed up the process.
6325
 
6326
    * The AddFlags directive will issue a warning if the flags does not
6327
      begin with a -D or a -U. The user should not be using compiler
6328
      specific flags.
6329
 
6330
    * The use of linker flags will issue a warning.
6331
 
6332
    * Process the common makefile.pl after the toolset has been
6333
      determined. This allows the toolset to extend the CompileOptions
6334
      such they are available to the common makefile.pl.
6335
 
6336
    * Added the WIN32 CompileOptions "jats_v1" to force JATS to specify
6337
      a number of compile time definitions used by earlier versions of
6338
      JATS.
6339
 
6340
    * Fixed bug in the --Debug option to the PackageProg directives that
6341
      caused both the production and debug versions to be packaged.
6342
 
6343
    * The gen_msproject utility now creates simpler names for the MS
6344
      projects that it creates. The name no longer contains the full
6345
      pathname, thus making them shorter and readable.
6346
 
6347
    * The ShowDlls utility now handles absolute and relative paths to
6348
      the initial DLL or EXE.
6349
 
6350
    * Correct problem in which the use of Generate/Rule directives may
6351
      fail since prerequisite subdirectories were not being created
6352
      since the "generate" phase was not being run.
6353
 
6354
      Added messages to prompt the user to remove Generate, Generated
6355
      and Rule directives. Use the GenerateFiles directive
6356
 
6357
    * JATS.BAT file will exclude LINUX builds by default.
6358
 
6359
    * The make NODEPEND=1 processing now does not recurse at all.
6360
      Previously each subdirectory was visited - only to do nothing.
6361
 
6362
    * Correct a problem in creating stub libraries for MOS targets if
6363
      the stub library object was not listed with the SharedLib's
6364
      objects.
6365
 
6366
    * Correct a problem with the MS Studio support. The invoked make
6367
      command is XXX_all_debug. There was a problem with this command in
6368
      that it did not do any dependancy checking and would not always
6369
      build defendants.
